Black Tea by Starwest Botanicals
An organic black tea from the mountains of southern India. This tea has a mild, bright flavor and fresh finish.
I want to thank LiberTEAS for sending this one my way! Thanks, girl!!! :)
This isn’t much for scent but the color is a nice medium-dark brown with reddish hues. This is a solid black tea. A great ‘go-to’ or one to have in anyone’s tea cabinet…if you like black tea.
It’s a good medium strength with a tad of a peppery taste trying to hide in there as well!
Thumbs up!
This is a really good tea! I didn’t have any real heavy expectations when it came to this tea, I was just expecting it to be a “standard issue” black tea. But – this is really good!
Even though it is a pure black tea, there is an underlying note of spice. Not strong or overpowering, but, subtle. Almost peppery. Almost cumin-ish. Very mysterious and exotic. And very lovely.
I really don’t like this tea. Far too astringent. I’ve had it sitting in a bag (not even a food-protective one at that) for awhile, so I’m sure any subtleties of the leaf have been long gone, but even keeping that in mind, this is not a tea I want to drink again.
