As a general observation I find Ceylon green tea very astringent
irregardless of brewing method.

I found the Ceylon green tea I tried okay, nonastringent the way I
brewed it, but nothing especially to reorder. Rich, if you like the
Ceylon Blacks, you might also like the Nilgiri blacks. Toci

I sorta agree with you these days. I cannot figure out what is the
deal with the tea I brought back this time. Maybe try changing the
water you are using?
