Oriental Tea House was founded by a Marine who had participated in the English Queen Victoria’s 50th anniversary in 1887. In Copenhagen, he founded the Oriental Tea House, where the special “Admiralty Tea” is still one of the house’s mixes. This tea has been treasured not only by the citizens of Copenhagen over the years, but by customers from all over the country.
The mixture consists of teas from Darjeeling, Ceylon and Keemun.

Sipped on a mug of this while watching the last of On My Block’s third season – it was a good season, though the ending was… oof.
I still think season two has been the best one, but I really hope it gets picked up for a fourth. I’ve loved the character exploration, as well as the more unique perspective/scope on gangs. I like that it doesn’t glorify them, but does frame elements of that lifestyle in a way that humanizes how some people end up caught up in them. Not everything is black and white.
This tea was easy to sip on but pretty flat in terms of flavour and mouthfeel. I can see form it’s Steepster entry that it’s a blend of several straight black teas, but I wish I knew what the intention was in selecting those specific teas. Really, none of the trademark flavours I would expect from any of the listed terroirs come through and the overall flavour is flat, dull and one note – day old bread. The plus side to this is that it makes for a great “canvas” style of black tea where you can add sugar and milk to taste. It’s a boring cup on its own though…
This company just showed up on my facebook as one of those sponsored posts yesterday. Weirdly I hadn’t even heard of it before.
Super weird! I got this sample from VariaTEA – and I think she got it from a sibling who had traveled there?
Yes, I gathered it was something like that. I was surprised to see it represented here and it having nothing to do with me. Next time we need to stock up, I want to try them out. Some of their stuff have custom tins for crying out loud!!! ♥♥♥
Unfortunately this one is not for me. I tried this gongfu and it had that typical darjeeling dryness. That was after a rinse and several steeping attempts. Eventually it ran out of flavor around the same time that astringent quality went away so I gave up and tried making it Western style. It’s better than the gongfu but still has a strong metallic quality. Into the swap box for someone who would appreciate it more.
