  • “Balanced perfectly between sweet, savory, malty, fruited, and bready, without being overtly any one of those. That’s what I find so hard to describe about these Georgian teas, they’re very subtle...” Read full tasting note

From What-Cha

A most unusual hand processed tea with soft tannins and slight malt with hints of toffee.

Natela of Nagobilevi Village makes only 50kgs a year of this tea by hand, utilising methods she perfected over many years with tea leaves she ‘borrowed’ from the local State Farm during the Soviet era.

Tasting Notes:
- No astringency or bitterness
- Slight malt with hints of toffee

Origin: Nagobilevi Village, Guria, Georgia

This is a pleasant & really kind of soothing cup. The second steep had peach undertones, at least from my perspective :)
Thanks Sil for the chance to sample it!

Since I’m back to no smelling (again, gosh darn it. I think it’s really gone now.) I decided on a straight black tea for my midmorning cup. I remember that this one was a favorite. It’s mild, mellow and smooth. I don’t have to pout over not catching some luscious fruit flavor or subtle caramel sweetness. This tea is just fine on it’s own.

Hmmm, A Southern Season sells a tea by this name. I have been wanting to go there.

Another from what-cha that is sweet and smooth. These Georgia teas are interesting to say the least though i should probably revisit them on a day when i’m not sick. If nothing else, these teas are work looking in to – the sample sizes are pretty large and allow for a few cups of tea brewed in different ways. OR…..for sharing. I like sharing haha. overall this was a pleasant cup, but just didn’t rock my socks off. Happy with it though!

Dry this is sweet and fruity. Its kind of pipe tobacco like. Steeped the dark caramel cup scent remains sweet and fruity but now reminds me of Darjeeling. The taste begins light with a slight maltiness. Then the tannins kick in and flood your tongue. It is refreshing and passes quickly leaving a slight toffee note that just as quickly turns into a fruity aftertaste.

Between the first and second cup I took my wife out for lunch. We went to BBQ place in town. I had 1/4 rack of ribs, baked beans, and smashed potatoes. My wife had tenderloin and fries. It was so extremely good. While eating, I was treated to watching a bald eagle soar outside my window. Such a beautiful site.

Came home and prepared a second cup of this one. It had a maltier scent than the first. The taste was very much like the first. This is a solid cup of black tea. I highly recommend a repeat of my entire day.

They sell this at A Southern Season. I maybe should get some since no one seems to be worried about the Chernobyl thing. LOL

Ashmanra, I recall your being concerned about this with another Georgia tea. I have Googled this to death and can find no FDA warning or credible concerns for tea grown and exported from this region. They do check this stuff and have strict limits.

Smells like honey, tastes like honey; naturally sweet and candy-like. Not astringent.
