Details
The Sylvakandy Estate Orange Pekoe blend from English Tea Store is from the Kandy region of Sri Lanka (Ceylon ) and is grown at 3000 feet above sea level. It has malty flavor that smooths with a floral character. Like most single estate non-blended teas, it is best enjoyed hot with a dash of milk to help open and expand its flavor profile. World-class teas like Sylvakandy hold as many nuances and subtleties as fine wines and should be savored with an open mind and clean palate. A fine tea in the afternoon or after dinner.
98% or more of this tea comes from estates that are part of the Ethical Tea Partnership. The ETP is an initiative started within the tea industry to monitor and regulate living and working conditions on estates around the world.

Delicious and soothing
Hot brewed tea is a family comfort food, ever since our grandmother had tea parties with us as children. I'm an Orange Pekoe snob - nothing is quite as tasty in my mind. We also drink ours with locally harvested honey - wonderful taste combination! I have seen lower prices for Orange Pekoe elsewhere, but ordering is much easier through the English Tea Store.

Nice and strong -- like my Grandmother brewed
My Grandmother made tea the old-fashioned Irish way -- brewed by boiling loose tea on the gas stove (I'm certain today's aficionados would say, "heaven forbid!!!") Orange Pekoe was the only loose tea available in our rural area, and so I have a fond spot for it as my childhood beverage -- hot in winter but iced in summer. Even if you choose to brew it in a more proper method, it's a go-to everyday beverage that holds its flavor in the cup or glass.

Excellent tea
Tried this for the first time on recommendation of a friend. Beautiful color, brews well, lovely flavor.
-
church pantry staple
I bought this to share with my tea drinking friends from church. We serve it every Sunday during our "coffee" hour. The tea has been going faster than the coffee...'nuf said.
-
Good flavor
I served this to friends after a evening of singing and all commented positively on it for flavor and soothing properties on the throat. We drank our tea sweetened with honey,no milk. I would love to see a decaf version, since it kept me awake all night.
