Miles M. ★★★★★

The Kenilworth estate leaves have that brisk, crisp bite I look for in a proper Ceylon, and it stays smooth even when I accidentally let it steep a minute too long. Perfect with a splash of milk in the morning.

Claire ★★★★★

I brewed this up expecting something sharp, but the roundness really caught me off guard—that balanced earthiness comes through smooth without any bitterness, even when I let it steep a minute too long. It’s become my go-to for a crisp late-morning cup that doesn’t need milk.

Daniel I. ★★★★★

The first thing I noticed is how clean and bright the liquor is after a four-minute steep — exactly the crisp, brisk character I was hoping for. There's a lovely earthy depth underneath that keeps it interesting without ever turning heavy.
