jacksons-ceylon.jpgThe Ceylon teabags from Jackson of Piccadilly are another that have been discontinued. This one I did not care for so much. The back of the wrapper says that is it a blend of Ceylon teas, which means a mixture of lower quality teas from who knows where. I brewed the first cup at 4 minutes and it came out very bitter, the kind that makes you want to dump the tea down the drain rather than drink it (and halfway through it I did). I tried brewing again at only 2 minutes and it came out just as bitter with no real tea taste at all. This is not quite the worst tea I have ever had, but it is among them. I’m looking forward to trying their new products eventually and seeing how they really compare to these discontinued products. I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but I am pretty sure they are better than these teabags.
