Description

Rich, strong, and smooth, PTA is a dreamy breakfast tea! The long wiry leaves give a nose of chocolate, raisin, and spice, with a warm and mellow sweetness. The opening taste matches that scent perfectly, with chocolate and raisin dominating. A sweetness comparable to brown sugar holds though the session while other nuances such as cream, caramel, malt and fruit peek in every once in a while. Our favorite thing about this tea is how it manages to be so intensely strong while still incredibly smooth and sweet!
