There are few things I appreciate more than a nice, strong black tea that can stand up to a little cream and sugar. And boy, does this tea stand up well! Underneath the bold and malty taste of the nilgri is the smooth and natural flavor of vanilla. I will definitely be keeping this one in my regular rotation :)
Flavors: Malt, Tannin, Vanilla
If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.
Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.
Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate
I’ll update soon with my rating system!
