Black Tea by Whittard of Chelsea
Rhubarb has been grown in Britain since Shakespeare’s time and has become a favourite dessert. It is warm, sweet and comforting and it is perfect served with sweet cream. We are always looking for new flavours, so decided to see how this would work as a tea. It has been a definite success! Malty black tea is a perfect canvas for rhubarb’s slight tartness and the soft sweet flavour of vanilla.
Ceylon and China Black tea, flavouring. Produced in an environment that uses nut ingredients.
thankyouthankyou maisonlula for our awesome swap!
So far this is definitely my favorite of the bunch, oh my gosh.
The flavour is out of this world good! And strong!
My boy and I enjoyed it over the Christmas break with some cream and sugar to enhance the cream. The rhubarb is sweet, not tart like when you eat it. More like a sugar dipped rhubarb, my personal favorite.
The tea base is mild and isn’t bitter at all. Very pleasant and awesome quality!
The dry leaf smells a bit sour, but smooth and creamy. The first thing I taste is the tea base. It’s just slightly smooth and a little bit astringent. The rhubarb comes out at the end of the sip as a tart bite. The cream is more present in the scent than in the taste. I am enjoying this cup, but I think that I like the idea and the scent more than the actual taste. I’m expecting more flavor than tea base… but maybe that’s just me. Thank you to maisonlula for a sample of this tea!
