We’re tea enthusiasts with a lot of passion. Passion for top quality tea, the environment, fair trade, and our community. We started Arbor Teas in Ann Arbor, Michigan, intent on creating a tea company as passionate as we are. Our passion is reflected in every aspect of Arbor Teas. You’ll certainly notice it in the exceptional collection of teas we offer - one of the largest catalogs of USDA certified organic teas around, nearly three-quarters of which are Fair Trade Certified®.
The leaves are somewhat broken up. Dry, they have only a very faint earthy (not fungal) smell. Wet, they smell malty.
The liquor is very astringent, with notes of malt and yam. It’s not my favourite astringent-type black tea; I think it’s less well-balanced than some. Like a lot of black tea intended for markets outside East Asia, it might be intended for combination with milk and/or a sweetener.
Flavors: Astringent, Earth, Malt, Yams
