Ceylon Burning Sun is another fantastic creation from the world-famous and highly awarded Lumbini Tea Estate in southern Sri Lanka.
This strong and robust black tea is mixed with broken golden tips, adding to its deep complexity and layered power. You may notice the taste of pungent dark fruit in its finish.
Ingredients: Black tea.
Origin: Sri Lanka
Caffeine: HIGH
When I first saw the Ceylon Burning Sun dry leaves, it certainly looked like tea grounds usually found inside mass produced tea bags: tiny pieces of leaf and no whole leaves. Tea Runners contacted me to indicate that it was the typical processing of a breakfast tea which is chopped up to enhance flavour. The tea description did not describe it as a breakfast tea and many quality Ceylon teas are whole leaf. I have been drinking many fine teas from Tea Runners that were whole leaf, so I was expecting whole leaf. Thus I was disappointed. This was astringent and probably needs milk to soften it out. I would not buy it again. Tea Runners have generously offered an alternative as a replacement. So 5/5 for customer service.
Hi Christine, are you sure you're reviewing the right tea? This is not a CTC tea nor is that the name of the tea.
Just now trying this from a subscription order and I love it! Strong but great tea flavor. Hope to buy it again soon when it’s back in stock.
Best tea ever! My favorite! I always order it, it often runs out, but most definitely my favorite tea of all time! I love a good strong tea that tastes like tea, especially in the morning, and this is perfect for the tea lover!
Really great black tea blend for a strong start to the day.
This smells so good, like aromatic lemon depth without the bitterness, and it taste a lot like it smells. I get notes of lemon peel, lemon verbena, and some woodsiness. I was glad I didn’t any tartness, sourness, or bitterness.
I was able to drink it without any sweetener at all (it’s not sweet by itself to me, but it’s complex and smooth enough to get away with no additions). I usually add sweetener to most of my teas.
I think this would be excellent hot or served as iced tea, with sugar as well. I have enjoyed it as hot tea so far. It’s also good with honey. I haven’t tried a cold brew method, but the tea is smooth to begin with, so that seems promising.
Night for a gift for my 12 year old daughter so needed decaf teas. She LOVES them and is looking forward to the next delivery.
The Genmaicha tea is one of my favorites. It is smooth, great tasting, and just the right amount of caffeine for me. Thank you!
Very good tea, sweet and smooth. Also fun and pretty to make in my glass teapot!
A really delicious, smooth, black tea with low tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. Makes at least two good steeps with little to no decline in taste, and you can get a third, slightly weaker and more tannic but still pleasant brew out if it.
One of my favorite herbal teas ever; it’s a great replacement for drinking lots of berry lemonades to help me kick my sugary drink habit! I can’t express enough how tart and delicious this is, and the lavender adds a dimension to the flavor that makes it very tasty. I got it with my tea club and am now forever hooked.
My Daughter loves this tea more than any other she's ever tried.
So much so in fact that I imported it from the US website and I live in Canada. ( I purchased the 5oz portion, it wasn'tavailableon the Canadian website) Definitely the most expensive tea I have ever purchased because of the exchange rate, shipping charges and brokerage fees.
I know I will buy it for her again because it's her favorite.
Next time though, I will try and find a way to reduce the cost.
This tastes EXCEPTIONALLY like caramel; if you like caramel or butterscotch this is a perfect desert tea for you. It also smells absolutely lovely the entire time!
This tea is truly a fantastic treat for me!
I will use it as my go to tea for times of celebration!
Thank you for making such a quality offering available to us.
This tea is a richly robust black tea flavor. The temp recommendation and steep time is perfect. It's a good tea to get lost with Hulu!
Very good tea. Both great served cold and hot. I wish I had bought more before it sold out.
