I’m starting to taste black teas on a fruity – chocolaty continuum. Perhaps its more of a triangle – and ‘tobacco-y’ is at one corner, too. This definitely falls into the fruity side of things, with maybe a tiny bit of chocolate manifesting as the dark flavors in the tea.

Flavors: Cherry, Fruity

Yes, the chocolate-fruity-tobacco continuum is real! That’s a good way to put it. Those are the main notes I get in most black teas too, or at least they are the ones that seem to define the tea’s character the most.

Oh! This is good to know. 1/2 the time I don’t know whether I’m saying something real about tea or just imagining it. Armed with this knowledge, I will continue to refer to the black tea continuum/triangle.
