A single estate black tea from India growing by the Brahmaputra River. Thick and Malty but surprisingly airy with good flavour and a rich red liquor and lots of golden tips.
1 tsp per 6oz cup steep for 3-5 minutes

nom nom nom nom nom. Oh how i wish i could have another work from home day. Maybe next week. Especially since there are two companies calling out to me to order from. sigh I think i just need to accept the fact that my cupboard is 200 or so teas. always. lol
This tea? It’s almost done, which in a way is nice only because it’s one of my older teas. Once i finish this and 1-2 others, my oldest tea will then be from February of this year. so yay!
Received this sample from Sil. Thank you so much for sharing. I took this to work yesterday, and while I did enjoy it, it was just ok. Nothing spectacular, but nothing offensive either. It was good for work, stood up the my haphazard steeping parameters. I just didn’t think it was bold enough, was more on the lighter side of black.
I’ve been exploring a lot of black teas lately and may be becoming more critical of them, but IMHO there are black teas that suit my tastes more than this one. Thanks Sil for the experience.
Back from vacation; too lazy to sip anything down. Ha.
Looks like this is a sample from Sil – thanks! This is a pretty solid black tea. Rich and malty, not astringent, but without some of my favourite black tea flavours (chocolate, smoke, raisins). Certainly a tea that can easily be drank straight, but just not my favoured profile.
I’m going crazy not placing any orders (aside from the two I placed last week! hahahah). But… it’s really difficult not going for more when people keep talking about Brioche, and Mandala etc.
I’m trying to focus on the whole Black Friday thing…
Oh Black Friday will be great. But ordering today does not mean I won’t in november as well. Plus I try to participate in civellos cyber Monday – they double gift certificates you buy so it lets me pre-pay for my haircuts and get freebies in terms of money to spend at the spa haha
I cannot believe you have that many teas and none of them are older than February. How is it possible?? I have teas that are older than 2yrs at this point.
I need to do that…
When is Black Friday? Is that the day after thanksgiving?
Dinosara – i drink a lot of tea? lol the couple i have that are older that i need to finish are from october. Then the next teas are from february lol
Terri – that’s uh your friday thanksgiving day thing
oh right…I always forget that thanksgiving is a US holiday…
Um it’s also a Canadian holiday silly…we just have ours in October :p
Aye…I learn new stuff every day on steepster!
