Kaimosi Estate TGFOP1

Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports

This select lot is composed of attractive, well-made leaves complemented by a generous portion of golden tips. The refined liquor is complex and full flavored, with notes of fruits and spices, and revitalizing pungency. The cup is smooth and can be taken plain, and with milk if desired.

Got this one for Christmas. It’s crisp and very slightly brisk without being spicy, and has a full but not overly robust flavor. Classic black tea without a ton of deviation from what I’d expect. It doesn’t seem to be very fussy in how you make it, as long as your steep time isn’t too long – some teas give me results that vary bizarrely, but not Kaimosi. This is one of my favorite black teas.

This tea is a lot more mellow than the previous Kenyan tea I had. The astringency is fairly mild in comparison. It’s medium bodied with a notes of spice and wood, but not a whole lot stands out about this tea. The more I drink it, I actually pick up some underlying sweetness that makes it a nice finish.
