This full-bodied yet mellow tea is a great way to welcome the sun each morning. We have chosen Kenya and Kenilworth for this blend. The golden tips of Milima are reminiscent of Assam and the bold leaves of Ceylon’s Kenilworth are very mellow.
I was about to ship the rest of this sample when I realized I had yet to do a tasting note. Made just enough for a quick cup and here’s what I think: om nom nom.
Molasses, toast and malt. Bold but smooth blend. Dark and tasty, perfect for morning tea. A very mild astringency with a slight bitter note at the end that doesn’t linger. I’d actually consider buying a pound of this.
This is lovely with milk and sugar – malty and full-bodied, but smooth.
From the dry leaves, I expected this to be a little bitter, one of those confrontational, drill-sergeant morning teas. Not so. This is smooth. Something gives a brightness on the sides of the tongue. Something gives a slight dry feeling in the aftertaste, almost like wine tannins? I don’t get particular notes—bread, wood, smoke, jam. But maybe I’m not awake enough yet.
I love this tea in the morning. It’s a robust tea with some earthy/toasty notes. It has a good mouth feel to it.
Fantastic if you can find it! I generally can take or leave Kenya, but blending it with Ceylon Kenilworth was sheer genius.
Very nice, yet smooth tea. The scent, as with most teas it seems, is stronger than the liquor. But don’t let that throw you, it is a fabulous tea.
This tea is really strong and very flavorful with teabags made from a nice cloth-like mesh material
