184 tasting notes

I was in the mood for a Kenyan tea this morning, but didn’t want to deal with astringency….dang this is one smooth mouthful of flavor for a CTC. Again, although the packaging says to steep for 4-5 minutes, DON’T!! A 1 minutes steep seems impossible for a kenyan tea, but since this is a CTC, 1 minute is perfect. Malty, bready goodness in my cup with milk and sugar. NOM!!

Flavors: Bread, Malt

Preparation

Boiling 1 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
