Good morning Gentlemen, As always, thank You for the fantastic subject. You both are the inspiration for us the tea drinkers. Please keep up the good work it is greatly appreciated. 😊😊😊
Ceylon is the king of black teas for me. I love the slight floral and fruity notes you get, they balances so well with the malty body and medium astringency. Variation in brands can also be quite wide, I've a couple which are quite bright and flavonoid-foward (that thing Nige calls wateriness) 😋 Miles CTC Ceylon has a front seat in my tea cupboard, anyone looking to explore orthodox Ceylon teas without spending a lot take a look at Swan brand Alwazah. Baseball boring? That's just not cricket chaps!
Morning, Gents. I agree with our Nige: just a hint of a whisper of smokiness is what separates Ceylon from the pack. Thanks for the history lesson - always fascinating to find out how the past affects today. And thank you for bringing us along for the ride - always lots of fun. Full disclosure: it was a cup of Dunkin Pumpkin coffee this morning, to help wash down the pumpkin doughnut, and which I've just managed to spill over my dining room table. Mercifully, already half drunk (the cup of coffee, not me - I am rarely drunk before noon, with the exception being copious amounts of champagne, the only beverage on the planet which competes with tea), so the damage was minimal, though the bottom edge of my journal did suffer a bit of moisture. But, I digress. Cheers! And thanks again for all that you do for the community.

Hi Anders here, certainly from my point of view I'm not that familiar with Ceylon tea, it obviously needs more investigation.
ps. I know nada about baseball!

Nige here, thank you for your kind comments. You are certainly a man of fine tastes, coffee aside!
Have you gentlemen reviewed something called 'gunpowder tea'? (I'm not suggesting it necessarily.)
We have tried a few at various times, this is our most recent, and it was a cracking tea. ua-cam.com/video/fI4EbRpfSRk/v-deo.htmlsi=AG1azXYXY9YkvDLQ
@@punktea8142 Thank you!
Cricket and tea chat is what I've come for
I mean, genuinely, what's better than cricket and tea?
I'm adding beer to that equation.
Baseball is boring!?
It is just a long game of rounders.
@@punktea8142 Humbug.
To be fair, only the first nine innings are boring...
