JacquelineM drank Mountain Malt by The Simple Leaf

Another ridiculous in the best way possible tea from the Simple Leaf! Malty, bready, bold. So delicious with a little half and half and sugar. It has a classic Assam like profile, but there is a little twist in there that gives it character. I’m not sure what it is – I have to drink some more of it to try and put my finger on it – but there is an interesting flavor thing going on with each sip and it’s delightful! I love this tea.

Now which of The Simple Leaf’s tea isn’t great and amazing?

So far they are 3 for 3 with me! I have 3 more here at home to try – two greens and an oolong…

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
