drank Royal Kenya Jubilee Black Tea by Stylin' Tea
184 tasting notes

One of my favorite teas is Grandpa’s Anytime Tea from Royal Teas of Kenya. This is a cousin to that wonderful CTC, available through Stylin’ Tea. Steeped for 1 minute, this is a light, pleasant tea, with a gentle baked malty flavor and a touch of citrus for a nice finish. It is more refined than Royal Kenya’s other teas that I’ve tried and would suit afternoon tea with a scone or shortbread beautifully. Yum.

Flavors: Bread, Citrus, Malt

Preparation
Boiling 1 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I’ll have to check out Royal Teas of Kenya. I’m looking for an eventual Crimson Horizon CTC travel tea replacement… These sound good.

Nicole, I’m a HUGE crimson horizon fan too! So far these haven’t been as “complex” as CH (missing the asparagus top note) but I have a few more to try that I’ll post reviews of. Stylin’ Teas has some interesting CTCs from other countries (like Tanzania and Malawi) that I haven’t tried yet…. but hopefully will soon!

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
