This box is heavy on flavored blends (not that I’m complaining!) but this straight black tea jumped out to me, as I haven’t had many “red” teas (not even sure of what defines that?) and Jesse’s Teahouse is also a new brand to me. The dry leaf was pretty! Tight little curls of mahogany brown leaves and a nice winey aroma. Unfortunately, I ended up on a 40-minute work call while drinking this, so wasn’t able to give it as much attention as I would have preferred. From what I recall, it was bittersweet and fruity and a bit drying on the palate. I tend to prefer a more robust, malty black tea, so I’ll probably be putting this one back in the box for someone else to enjoy.
Flavors: Bittersweet, Drying, Fruity, Red Wine
My partner’s sister bought this for him for Christmas, which was nice, but he’s not a big tea guy. He says, “Smells like grass/dirt. Tastes like duller genmaicha.” I found the flavor a tiny bit funky, but in a pleasant way. It’s not something I’d really want again, but it was nice enough with sugar and milk.
In many Asian countries, what we call “black” tea is referred to as “red” tea.
Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing. :)
