I know this isn’t a Holiday-Related Tea Post…but…I like this tea and really want to share it with you all today! It’s Assam Borengajuli from Culinary Teas…a strong and sturdy black tea!
When I first smelled the dry leaves I was thinking it smelled a little like those Raisins in the lil red boxes…a different yet welcomed aroma.
Post infusion it smells like bakey black tea. A hefty Assam, indeed!
The taste is a BOLD black tea taste a little sweet at first but then turns a bit jammy.
I did try a 2nd infusion on this, too, and it was quite nice! It was much smoother the 2nd time around and was more fruit-like. It bet it would go great with toast! YUM!

Tasters Review:
I’ve been called many things…one of those is ODD. Yes, it’s true…more than one person has called me “odd”…I really don’t find anything wrong with that. It just means I am different, right!? If we weren’t different this world would be a boring place. Same thing – when it comes to tea…it’s those ‘odd’ ones that catch my interest sometimes, you know!?
Well, I must say this one is odd…but sometimes odd is GOOD!
The dry smells like toasted peanuts with a slight woodsy smell as well. The wet leaves and post infusion liquid smells like soy sauce. Yes…It reminds me of soy sauce. The color of the liquid is a medium drab brown. The taste is certainly NOT Drab! It has a nutty taste to it but also a roasted or toasted flavor as well as a little like mocha hint. It’s smoother than I anticipated…many Hojicha’s I have tried are far from smooth. I’m so glad this one is!
Yeah…this one is odd but good and fairly Complex. It really makes me THINK…and I like that!

Tasters Review:
I LOVE summer! I LOVE warm weather! I LOVE Summer Fruit…especially WATERMELON! I have been waiting a while to try a nicely flavored watermelon tea and that day is finally here!
This Watermelon Kiwi Green Tea from Culinary Teas smells lovely! It has a little more watermelon than kiwi and It just intensifies as you infuse. What an awesomely flavorful aroma! It looks like a typical green tea. The taste is wonderful! It’s incredibly juicy and thirst quenching. I can still taste the mouth-watering green tea but it’s almost equally paired with the watermelon/kiwi duo! The first time I tried this – I tried it hot…my 2nd infusion was ICED and it was just as nice if not better ICED!!!!
LOVE this…Summer, warm weather, watermelon, kiwi, green tea! LOVE it!
