Not what I was expecting

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.

VERY very strong and so good! 2 steeps

Great name for an average black tea

This tea is fine for a breakfast tea; it’s robust and flavourful but nothing remarkable or distinctive.

Remarkable, earthy flavor, up there with Blue Mountain Black.

Wake up call

This is my go-to wake up call to get the day rolling

Absolutely THE BEST tea on the planet!

Absolutely THE BEST tea on the planet! I am a huge fan of this tea and have been buying it for years. It is the best black tea on the planet. Absolutely! Delicious! Best black tea flavor. I am a tea snob lol and to me this is the best. I never want to run out of it. Wonderful hot and iced. I love a strong great-tasting black tea and this is the best.

New Favorite

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!

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!

Bold and smooth

Really great black tea blend for a strong start to the day.
