Taster’s Review:
Robust! This tea has got real spirit to it – and the strength to enliven even the sleepiest of sleepy-heads!
The aroma is inviting. It has a warm, wake-up kind of smell to it – if that makes sense! Almost a baked kind of fragrance that translates into the flavor. It’s the kind of scent you WANT to wake up to!
The flavor is equally as warm and inviting. As I said in the previous paragraph, there is a bake-y kind of flavor to it that rests in the background and beckons my palate to keep sipping so that it can savor that delicious flavor. It is a bold tea – very strong – with a nice malty flavor to it. It reminds me very much of an Assam! But there is also an intriguing, fruity wine-like note in the distance that is reminiscent of a Keemun tea too.
It is a tasty tea that offers a very pleasant wake-up call!
Wild Forest Black tea is also one of five new teas from Choice Organic Teas that have been created to help support the Jane Goodall Institute. Hmm… great tea and a good cause … I like it when a tea can accomplish so much!
