teepland drank High Grown Premium Black Orthodox Kangra Tea by Dharmsala Tea Company (Mann Estate)

110 tasting notes

— Color of liquor: Walnut brown

— Aroma: Petrichor; wet rocks

— Flavors: Mineral; petrichor; wet rocks; astringent

There is a strong mineral/petrichor/wet rocks flavor, with an astringency that doesn’t cross over into bitterness – exactly what I expect and hope for in a Kangra tea. The leaves in the package are broken (unusual for an orthodox tea) and lighter in weight than I expected. This is an excellent example of a Kangra black tea that I expect to drink regularly and will re-order when my stock runs out.

Flavors: Astringent, Mineral, Petrichor, Wet Rocks

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 45 sec 9 g 20 OZ / 591 ML

2025: It’s been awhile, but I hope to be back to regularly updating my tea log!

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in India and Sri Lanka. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I’d love to hear from you if your experiences differ from the notes in my tea log.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)
