FAVORITE BLACK TEA

THIS TEA HAS A FULL BODY AND IS VERY FLAVORFUL. I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT IS ORGANIC TOO. GOOD TO DRINK ALL DAY THROUGH. HAS A SLIGHT SMOKINESS TO IT ALSO, BUT NOT OVERPOWERING.

My Favorite S&V African Tea thus Far

This is my favorite S&V African black tea thus far. I've enjoyed and have reviewed Malaika OP and Milikma too. But Tananzania Luponde is my 5 Star personal favorite. I even bring it along when I travel. I enjoy the black-pepper like spice and its restrained dry finish. The leaves have power for second steepings, and thus far it's the only organic S&V African black tea. Certainly enough for 5 stars, in my book.

Black tea with a bit of smokiness

This is a fine African black tea. It's most noticeable feature is a note of tobacco/smokiness. Reminded me a bit of the smell of plum tobacco for a pipe. However, don't let this put you off, it's a subtle smell and this is not a real smoky tea. Otherwise it is a solid cup of tea that is fun to drink. Organic and Fairtrade, as well, so this tea deserves attention.
