OMG! Thanks to The Purrfect Cup for sending me a bit of this! I couldn’t find it anywhere on the site so I googled it and added it! I’ve never had any of this company’s teas before and I’m bouncing off the walls and can’t wait to try it!

Dry – this smells like I walked right into The Whole Foods Cooperative! The Whole Foods I go to regionally is not the national chain. I think what happened was prior to Whole Foods being a chain – the one I go to – didn’t follow-suit…instead they are members owned and a little different from the chain product-wise but still…it’s all I have…so I’m grateful to go when I can!

Anyhow…

Post infusion the aroma changes completely. It now smells slightly bready.

The taste is rich, bold, strong, and malty! This is certainly a “come as you are” type tea. Which also seems to follow the theme with my regional Cooperative!

WOW! I think this is great! Thanks again, girl! I sure appreciate this!

I mailed off some tea to the lovely lady who sent this to me months ago! So I thought it would only be right to enjoy a cup with my gluten free chocolate chip cookies. It certainly is a bold tea and I am dragging today so this is a very good thing! I like the malty flavor I get with each sip too…so good. I do have to add a little milk and sweetener to my cup, but it did nothing to hide the flavor. :)

Backlog:

I really like this tea. It’s a strong, robust tasting tea with no bitterness. The description on the website suggests that this is a lower caffeine tea … I don’t know if that’s true or not, but, if it is, this would be a great tea for those who want a bold breakfast type tea but need to decrease their caffeine.

A really good black tea. Here’s my full-length review: http://sororiteasisters.com/2014/03/03/australian-daintree-black-tea-mcivers-tea-coffee-merchants/
