My husband was in UK for a month, so I took advantage of it to order some teas from The Kent&Sussex Tea&Coffee Co. This is the first of them I try after he returned here.
A typical breakfast tea, strong and malty. This is said to have a full spicy taste, but I mainly identify the spices in the nose. It´s in the nose where I mainly notice a difference with the more common Kenyan BOP.

Some information from the K&S T&C co website :
Tanzanian Tea – All You Need To Know
*Tea is the fourth largest export crop from this country.
*More than 30,000 smallholder farmers collectively produce a third of its output.
*Harvesting of Tanzanian Tea takes place year-round, providing a year round source.
*Its production, however, didn’t start until 1902 when German settlers first planted Tea in what was then known as German East Africa. It didn’t become commercially viable until 1926.
*Since attaining independence, Tanzania has predominantly grown Tea in the Southern Highland Zone, the North East Zone and the North West Zone.

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
