Thank you to Nepali Tea Traders for the sample! I suspect this is the same tea used for the base of their Masala Spiced blend. It’’s delicious. Apparently Nepalese blacks lack the astringency of most other black teas and don’t hurt my stomach. This one is mellow and bready with a faint apricot note. In later steeps, a strong honey note comes to the fore. I’m truly displeased that this is a sipdown. Once I get my cupboard under control, this goes on the keep-in-stock list. Though it seems like I’ve been saying that for years about various teas and my cupboard is still a mess…
Flavors: Apricot, Honey

Ooh, this sounds nice. I’ll take a look at Nepali Tea Traders in general.
You should! Their masala blend is a work of art.
One of my favorite straight blacks! :)
Thank you for this review and for introducing me to a new website for responsibly sourced teas. Can’t wait to place an order & try this tea!
Heh, I totally forgot about this note, but I did get some of this tea from Amoda during their Black Friday sale. At least I’m consistent!
Yay! I hope you enjoy it.
