This is a very good cup of Kenyan tea. The only tea I have to compare this with is Lifeboat tea. This tea is much more refined as I do get notes of fruit and roses. As it is a CTC tea, 2 minutes gets you a good quick cup. This tea is brisk and robust with no bitterness and only slight astringency. This is another tea I will reorder in a larger size. I’m no expert on African teas, but I know what I like. I like this one.

This tea is an excellent choice for those who want a high quality cup, priced for everyday consumption. The infused CTC leaf yields a dark liquor with a smooth character. The cup has flavor notes of fruit and roses, with a light pungency that leaves the mouth with a pleasant tangy sensation. This is a tea that goes well with milk.
