2 Tasting Notes

This is a nice black tea.
When we owned a tea shop, the Java Tea we had there – Malabar – wasn’t bad but never sold. I often cut a portion of it into chai blends to keep my stocks turning over.
The Taloon is a little different. It’s of an ilk with the stronger Indian teas – for example, a lighter NIlgiri or a heavier Assam.
Nice aftertaste. Really pleasant black with no sugar. I imagine it would take milk or sugar well.
Also looks great in the cupboard – people don’t get offered Indonesian tea every day.
Worth stocking a little to surprise people!

I used to always buy my fresh, loose leaf tea from the Perfect Cup (and it is one of the things I miss about living in delightful Adelaide). This was my everyday tea of choice. Bright, refreshing, beautiful colour. Drunk with a dash of skim milk, no sugar.
