A blend of CTC African black tea with a brisk and earthy aftertaste.
Steep in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
Company description not available.
Whoa, this is a black that will put hair on your chest- a proper bracing cuppa that will get you going. It’s got a woody, earthy aftertaste after the initial tannin-heavy opening that lets you know THIS IS TEA! I imagine lumberjacks or other similar manly men drinking it. It feels like this should be advertised with one of those ridiculous American portmanteaux, like “Real Men Drink Kilimanjaro Tea for MENERGY!” You could probably also use the teabag to staunch bleeding after you’ve cut off a limb with those manly power tools.
If you find other standard black breakfast-style too wimpy, give this a try. Can’t say the taste is outstanding- it’s rather standard- but it will get you out of bed.
Flavors: Brisk, Earthy, Tannin, Woody
Brew briskly, taste briskly, love briskly. Actually, I don’t really love it. Don’t hate it but I find it to be somewhat bland. Briskly bland. It is a CTC blend so it’s not wonder that there is a loss of flavor. For those who don’t know CTC means cut-tear-curl (or crush-tear-curl) as apart of processing the majority of many commercial tea leaves . Anyway, I can see this is a good tea for those who like to add milk. In fact, I’ll add some right now to see what happens. Ok Milk has been added. Still has that weird citrusy after taste and mouth feel. However, it does help cut down on the briskness and adds a touch of honey flavor to it.
