This is uncomplicated but nice. It has what I think of as true black tea taste (not sure how else to describe it, it’s almost more a feeling in the back of my throat?) but I don’t find it overly astringent. It is somewhat tannic, but just enough to make it interesting – nothing overwhelming to me. I get some nice roasted notes from it, but nothing I’d consider fruity. It’s a nice solid anytime tea to me.

Flavors: Roasted, Tannin

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
