My first impression of the Blue Mountain Nilgiri White was of creamy citrus. I imagined this tea would be excellent with lemon cake and began to wonder what the Brits were about, going to all the trouble of adding lemon slices, sugar, and cream, when there exists a ready-made superior companion. Do they enjoy doing dishes that much? (taking into account that I do not bake my own cake) I put this to the test and came to the conclusion that this tea does indeed pair very well with lemon cake. In addition to discovering that cake and tea are yummy together, I did also decide that this tea is best on second and subsequent steepings. The first steep seemed weak and shallow to me, even when making a strong brew and pushing the brew time to just short of bitter. However, this tea does eventually come into its own, showing a full flavor that does taste creamy and lemony. Otherwise there is nothing special about the finish and it doesn't expose additional complexities, which is fine, because neither did the cake, and I liked both very much. Stay tuned as I have a theory that the next tea I try will have a decisively wet characteristic.
