Sri Lankan milk tea is better than Assam milk tea

Overview

The black tea powder Helen brought back from Sri Lanka is very finely chopped, much finer than the Indian Assam CTC tea powder I originally used. The taste is slightly lighter, and the milk tea made has a different flavor and a much more delicate texture. Delicious. ^_^ International black tea grades are generally divided into 6 or 7 types. The Indian Assam black tea powder used in the past was CTC grade, CTC: CrushTearCurl. After withering and rolling, the tea leaves are crushed (Crush), torn (Tear), and rolled (Curl) using a special machine to make them into very small particles, which is convenient for brewing in a very short time, so it is often used to make tea bags. Ceylon, the former name of the Republic of Sri Lanka. Ceylon black tea is produced in Sri Lanka and is a general name. Also known as Sirloin black tea and Xilan black tea, the name comes from the pronunciation of Ceylon in English and is a direct transliteration. Ceylon Highlands black tea, Anhui Qimen black tea and Darjeeling black tea are also known as the three major black teas in the world. Ceylon black tea is generally only graded into OP, BOP and FOP. There is no strict grading of Indian black tea. When choosing Ceylon black tea, the black tea grade is only a reference indicator. The BOP I used this time: BrokenOrangePekoe, as the name suggests, is a finer OP. It has a strong flavor and is generally suitable for brewing milk tea.

Steps

  1. Previously, I used CTC tea powder cut from Indian Assam black tea to make milk tea, which everyone loved to drink. My best friend Helen also loves tea. She went to Sri Lanka and visited the tea mountains there, and brought back this more refined Ceylon black tea.
