Kenya teas tend to be strong and malty, and when smelling the aroma´s of the dry leaves this is confirmed. Also steeped the strong fragrance keeps on, but in mouth it´s far less strong than what its fragrance makes you believe! The maltiness is present (it even reminds me a bit of some pu erh teas), which makes it – for me at least – the perfect breakfast tea, but it´s lighter than what I expected (from experience with other Kenya and Tanzania teas), more adapted to Summer, I can pleasantly add.
Unlike the recommendation (see below) of having it with milk, I always drink my teas black and this is a wonderful tea to enjoy black, as it seems more delicate and complex than standard breakfast teas.
