37 Tasting Notes
I’ve always been a fan of a good black tea in the morning. I especially love the Assam and darjeeling varieties. After reading the description from Silk Road Teas, I had to try it!
The description is accurate. This tea is excellent! You can taste the smokiness of the coal fire used during processing, and all the while keeping its rich black tea flavor. I keep this on hand for guests and that “special occasion celebratory” tea. I highly recommend it. It’s also very affordable.
Preparation
I find this tea very enjoyable. If steeped too long, it becomes almost savory in flavor. I’ve found that steeping this for just over two minutes at a lower temperature the flavor becomes sweeter and more vegetal, with hints of asparagus.
