Sipdown (619)!
Finished off sometime last week – pretty damn tasty Kenyan black tea! I was expecting a lot of the body and briskness/tannin that I’m accustomed for African black teas, and I definitely did get a whole lot of body and boldness – but rather than that brisk citrus peel/lemon pith that I expected I was met with more emphasis on malt notes, French bread, and a hint of dark chocolate. Really smooth, thick – impactful! I could drink massive pots worth of this sort of flavour at a time – so nice on its own, but also the type of profile that would be really good with a jammy scone and a splash of cream in the cup.
Delightful!!
