It’s been a black tea day for the most part which my husband has enjoyed because his favourite teas are black. Still watching Luther (series 2 episode 3).
The tea whilst raw has a strong, smoky, dark, wooden scent. Just the way I like a black tea to smell.
Brewing this with a drop of soy milk.
Once steeped this tea smells robust, wooden and malted.
Flavour is wonderfully strong and sweetly wooden with elements of smoke, earth, leather and malt. It also has a musky quality and dryness. This would make a perfect breakfast tea or simple a ‘pick me up’ tea.
Very nice drink and I shall try it next time without the milk, I may even try it in the morning. Happy I tried this sample, may have to get some more of this.
