Black Tea by Mahamosa Gourmet Teas, Spices & Herbs
This Tanzanian tea leaf is coarsely grained. Zoom into the photo above to see the dark granules of broken orange pekoe grade tea leaf. This leaf brews a slightly red cup. It is strong, full and spicy. This tea works well with a bit of milk, cream and/or sugar.

This is good. Much milder than other tiny rotovaned teas I’ve had. Of course, it could be that I just learned my lesson with the others and I steeped this for like a quarter of the recommended time.
Even at a minute and a half steeping time, this is decently strong and still full bodied. A nice, mild, basic tea. Nothing special but nothing bad, either. I’ll try it eventually with the recommended steep time and see what happens. :)
