Longevity Black (Organic)

Black Tea by Tea Trekker

Grown near the Keemun region and it is similar to the Keemun teas you may be used to but without any chocolate undertones. Advertised as one of “Bob’s favorites” I can definitely see why. It’s a great everyday black tea that you really can’t get sick of.

Brewed at just about 200 degrees the tea gave off a great aroma and turned the water to a chocolate brown color. The flavor was exactly as described with a biscuity richness and it really was pleasure to drink.

I am often shocked how closely Mary Lou and Bob’s descriptions match the tea they are talking about, their evaluation of flavors is incredible and they often notice subtleties in flavor that a novice would have to really look for when tasting the tea.
