Teh Melati

Black Tea by Tong Tji

Smooth yet aromatic Indonesian black tea with a hint of jasmine aroma. Very popular in Central Java region, but most people like it iced and sweetened by sugar.

This is an excellent quality tea, that a relative brought me from Indonesia. It has all the qualities that a good tea should should have. Rich the in the aroma, characteristic of a mountain grown tea that has been carefully plucked and selected from the young tea leaves, it is gently enhanced with some fragrance of jasmine. I only wish that I could find a place to buy it, preferably direct from Indonesia to get that same freshness.
I find a tea of this quality, that is so smooth, without bitterness and yet so aromatic very difficult to find here in the US.
