STORY:
Being part of The Tea Bag Prohibition is tough work. It’s not easy converting tea bag imbibers into a #GetLuhse lifestyle. Lulu recognized the need for a brew that kept The Gang going through late nights and long hours. Our voicetress dame blended this resilient black tea to help fortify us against our daily grinds.
TEA DESCRIPTION:
No one needs to know that you drink all day. Keep a lid on it. This stout brisk brew keeps you fueled.
Company description not available.
Continuing with my Luhse black tea samples for my second cup of the morning. This time it’s Prohibition Tea – what I assume is another blend, although the pouch doesn’t specify any particular varieties. The dry leaf is quite small, and a fairly uniform black-brown, but with one or two golden, downy leaves scattered throughout. It smells malty, but there’s also a hint of treacle or molasses. I used 1 tsp of leaf for my cup, and gave it 3.5 minutes in boiling water. The resulting liquor is a deep golden brown, and I added a splash of milk.
To taste, it’s blander than I hoped. It’s moderately malty, and quite sweet, but it tastes somehow quite flat. It has a thick, almost chewy mouthfeel, but that’s not backed up with the depth of flavour I would have liked. There’s a tiny hint of treacle in the aftertaste, which works nicely with the malt, but that’s about all it has to distinguish it. I have to admit, it’s a disappointment.
