It is probably
my fault
Maybe Ceylon is not my type of tea, like Darjeeling or anything with bergamot.
I cannot say that I dislike this UVA, but I certainly don't enjoy it. Its flavour is not something I would crave for.
It is difficult to explain or find the reason
For example, it is much better than F&M Piccadilly Blend Tea, which is a blend of Ceylon teas. I would not drink it
at all, I disliked the tea. On the other hand F&M another blend of Ceylon, Afternoon Blend Tea, is my favourite post lunch tea. I absolutely love it.
Both F&M Ceylon blends are very cheap, £3 - 100gr., but The UVA Shawlands Estate - £13. Substantial price difference.

When there is only 1/4 of F&M's Keemun left in its caddy, I am going to open Keemun Downy Bud and compare them. So far, I could not decide which one I prefer
At the same time, I know that I am not a big fan of the real Keemun that I bought in the Chinese Tea Company. Again, the latter is a lot more expensive.
Although, unfortunately for my wallet, I am not like you and always like cheap, unbranded teas more than expensive ones

Plain yoghurt.
And banana....
P.S.
I have yet to decide which one is better.
The East India Company
Emperors Yunnan Tea £20.00/100g or a mere PekoeTea Online Store
Yunnan Golden Tips £10.00/100g
My first impression was that they were identical
