TK22: Kaimosi Estate GFBOP1

A hearty Kenya tea, produced in the Great Rift Valley. This selection has a smaller leaf style than our other Kenya teas, producing a very rich cup, with notes of raisins and molasses.

Steeping Suggestions:
Leaf Quantity: 2¼ g/cup
Water Temp: 212° (boiling)
Steep Time: 3 min.

An absolutely excellent tea: I brewed and steeped mine for four minutes, which is a minute longer than the recommendation, but it was very well-rounded. I couldn’t taste the notes of raisin and molasses as such, as they were quite subtle, but there was a depth to the tea, no bitter aftertaste that sometimes comes with black teas; there was a definite pleasing aftertaste that reminded me of raisins.

Tasted a bit of nutmeg in this tea. It is a pleasant tea, but seemed a little bit one dimensional. Maybe I’ll try to brew for a bit longer next time as the previous reviewer suggested. I brewed for only three minutes.
