Black Forest

thank you KittyLovesTea for this sample!

Sadly i don’t get quite the sample depth of flavour that you have, though in the after taste of this one i can almost taste what your tasting notes seem to reflect. It’s a fantastic dry looking tea with big cherries and a great looking base. However, even after steeping for a longer time than i normally would for most blacks, it’s more like a nice smooth black, than a flavoured tea. I have a bit more left to play with so i’ll see if steeping it for even longer helps! That being said, in the tail end of this sip there is a distinct chocolate cherry taste that is almost within reach..

This was the most delicious tea that I have ever smelled. First notes (smell alone) were chocolate and sweet dark cherries, just like black forest gateaux cake.
It says that with this tea a splash of milk will bring out some flavour so after the long waiting time of 7 minutes (which is a long time to smell the chocolatey goodness and not tasting it) a splash was added. And just buy the way this tea is to be steeped for 4-7 minutes (as taken from the website).

Taste wise this is amazing, chocolate with fruity cherries and a creamy smoothness. It’s just like eating the real deal. Another tea that my husband is a fan of too and another probable new regular tea in my cupboard. The steep is the right strength for me as it’s not too strong to become bitter or too much of one flavour over the other and nor is it subtle or low on taste.

Simpli beautiful :)
