This is one of the limited edition teas that was recently released by DT as part of the Garden To Cup collection. It’s very malty with a really wonderful dark raisin-y sweetness balanced by robust molasses and buckwheat honey flavours. My excitement for the other new straight black tea was so great that I initially didn’t pay this one as much mind. However, it’s really grown on me and I love that it comes from an estate that believes so strongly in sustainable tea production. It make for an excellently elevated single origin take on traditional Breakfast Blends; so good without anything added to it but still has that bold brisk flavour and pleasant astringency I crave from an early morning tea!

Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
