Ceylon Select English Breakfast Blend

Tea Review

Ceylon Select English Breakfast Blend

Rating:

Upton product TB18. 2.2 grams steeped for 3 minutes at 212℉. Impression: BOP size bits, see photo. Dry tea smells of cedar. Brewed tea has scents of warm flannel. Taste: cedar, sandalwood, tobacco, and a hit of fruit. Moderately astringent.

A very pleasant English breakfast tea blend. Nice flavor, smooth, no edge or harshness. Sometimes, this is exactly what I want.

About John

I have been writing fiction for as long as I can remember. I was first published in college, but wrote only intermittently for the next several decades, during which I started and ran a small business, entered medical school, and practiced as an academic emergency physician for almost three decades. I took up writing fiction more seriously around 2002, and since then have published short fiction in Asimov’s, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Strange Horizons, Interzone, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, and other venues. One of my stories, “Fourteen Experiments in Postal Delivery,” has been reprinted in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Twentieth Annual Collection. My first novel, Half-Witch, was published by Small Beer Press in July, 2018.
