Classic Georgian black leaf tea from the Guria region. Hand picked leaves. Orthodox tea, which means that it is made in whole or in large part by hand, which aims to preserve as much of the whole leaf as possible. Leaves tightly twisted.
In its taste, it may resemble the best Georgian tea from the PRL and Soviet times. It was called “Gruzińska Extra” and had one of the highest quality classes in the Soviet Union. It has a nostalgic aroma with a more intense tartness. Tea leaves are harvested by hand from organic farming.

This has a malty, almost milky quality to it and is robust without being astringent. It does have an edge, but with a strict steeping time and temperature the tea turns out quite nicely. I ordered 250g of this in May and have only a handful of cups remaining, so that alone paints a picture of my thoughts on this tea!
Another sample from teaoria I took today morning. It is crushed black tea, pretty much similar to Classic Black Tea by Georgian Tea 1847, and to be honest, I think it is very same tea. Used only half of tea sample… 3 grams, so maybe a little weaker than used to, but it was still great.
Very robust after recommended 4-5 minutes steep, very rich and brisk. A little earthy, malty and such. They also call it “extra breakfast” and as a breakfast tea it suited it so well, I have no further comments. I will focus a bit more on the flavours next time.
Apparently I give good recommendations of teas :)
