From ESP Emporium

This tea is modeled on the original Georgian quality which unfortunately is no longer available. These qualities are very popular in Russia and are sweetened not only with lots of sugar but also with a jam called Warenje and consumed in large quantities. Our Gruziya is a mild, pleasant leaf blend from high-quality Chinese black teas, with a soft and light-colored cup, a tender taste and a hint of a smoky note. The flavor is round and slightly spicy. The leaf is regular and dark in color.

To me, this is a basic black tea with hints of smoke and absolutely no caramel flavor that most “breakfast” type black teas contain. If you’re looking for a plain Jane black tea that is higher quality than a grocery store brand, try this one.

2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I like to think outside the box when pairing tea with food. I steeped this tea according to the directions for 4 minutes at 212 degrees F. The tea was like a dry red wine with hints of raisin more reminiscent of a dry Cabernet and a light almost unnoticeable smokiness. I accompanied this tea with a Pizza dinner rather than my usual wine accompaniment. The pizza was a mushroom, spinach, garlic, and white cheese with oregano and hot pepper sprinkled on top – made at home. The tea was good like a nice dry red wine paired with this pizza. If I was to pair this almost wine-like tea with a Jazz album, I choose Duke Ellington & John Coltrane ’s 1962 collaboration which I own on vinyl. The album is spicy, smooth, hip, and cool and so is this tea.
