Your day will get a real jump start with a cup of this hearty tea! The tea brews to a deep copper color with a rich, strong, full bodied and slightly spicy taste. East Frisian is a perfect morning tea but one that can also be enjoyed all day long.
Ingredients: Black teas.

My first few infusions of this tea left me wanting a bit more from it. It came off as weak, astringent and pretty boring overall. After quite a few tries I’ve found that using 1.5-2 tsp per 8oz and steeping for no more than 3 minutes actually produce a nicely drinkable cup if you aren’t going to add any additions. As this is supposed to be taken with heavy cream and sugar I understand that there is a need for it to have a good bit of astringency to balance those additions out, but it isn’t pleasant if you’re drinking it black.
I probably won’t reorder since I don’t like to add anything to my tea, but I’m happy I got to try it. Over-leafing it a touch it brews up a full-bodied malty tea that’s a great choice for cutting through the sweetness of desserts.
Flavors: Astringent, Malt
