Thiashola SFTGFOP1

Black Tea by t Leaf T

Thiashola (mother of the forest) Tea Garden is the oldest in the Nilgiri region. This elegant tea is strong yet delicate, with a slightly lemony flavour and golden-red liquor. The perfect afternoon tea that can be enjoyed with a touch of milk.

I agree with Miss Sweet this is a very accurately decribed tea. I am drinking it this afternoon sans anything. I didn’t really pick up the lemon until I read about it and held the tea in my mouth for a second, my first impression was more of light honey notes. This is a very lovely tea.

So yesterday was my first day back at the office after a 4 day break. I was going to drink this tea yesterday but when I got to work I noticed I had leaf but no mug or strainer. It was a very sad moment. I ended up just drinking plain water most of the day. It is a shocking and sad tale of woe, I know.

Anyhow I managed to get everything here today. It remains a nice tea not one I crave or worry about the state of my supply. Most of the time it exists in my cabinet like an unlined movie extra, today it may be the supportive but plain girl in the crowd.

I didn’t get this from the Supplier listed here, having bought it in Australia, but it appears to be identical.
Just a great, great tea. I ended up with a spare half kilo which I dumped in my “Tea of the Moment” canister right next to my kettle a couple of weeks ago. It appears to be empty.
I’m currently sipping a cup at 5am upon arising. But it’s just as good any time of the day. It’s got the slight maltiness of a good Assam and the lingering after-taste of a light Ceylon. Almost like a blend in one tea.
Basically, I love it.

The taste of this is actually accurately described on the packet! Strong yet delicate, and slightly lemony. I really enjoyed this one, definitely drink sans milk.
