180 Tasting Notes
Upon first pour, you immediately notice the malty, earthy aroma. It’s smooth and slightly sweet, and it’s taste profile is reminiscent of a good coffee. There’s very mild dryness, not astringent, with practically no bitterness. It is the best Kenyan black I’ve tried and would definitely recommend it to anyone trying and looking for a good Kenyan Black.
Everyone must have gotten their shipments today! :)
Justea specifically requested that reviews start today :) I received these a couple of weeks back :)
Ah. Not sure I got that memo. :)
actually Nicole we were pretty happy to have some early reviews, but we wanted to have this crazy mass action of tea reviews for when our campaign started. -Britta : Justea member
The aroma of this tea is very floral from the bergamot, while the citrus hides in the background.
The bergamot taste is very overpowering, and it lingers melding with a strong citrus taste in the end. It has an astringent finish, with slight bitterness.
This tea is drinkable for me, but definitely does not rank high in my list of Earl Greys.
A great combination of chai spices and malty black tea. Straight up, you taste the maltiness of the black tea, followed by the spices with a sweet aftertaste. Added milk and sweetener, the tea becomes more flavorful with the spices melding better with the black base.
