Tea Type: Black Tea
Where To Buy: McNulty’s
Product Description:
There’s isn’t a lengthy description listed on their website about their Java Santosa Tea, specifically, but I thought I would include some of their history in this post instead…
Since 1895, McNulty’s has been this country’s leading purveyor of choice coffees and rare teas. Our tradition of careful selection of only the finest is still true today.
A visit to our store is like a journey into another age. Located in the heart of New York’s Greenwich Village, the aura of a century long gone is timelessly preserved. Immediately upon entering the shop, one’s senses are delighted by the many aromas of coffees and teas from around the world. Sacks of coffee and chests of tea with obscure markings from far away lands are visible everywhere. Even the bins, chests, and scales, with which these products are stored and handled, date back to the previous century.
Tasters Review:
McNulty’s is just one of those places I want to visit before I expire. I mean, the history in the store, itself is amazing! It really is a historical place! The consistent years of business, operation, service to NYC as well as the Tea and Coffee Lovers of the world…it truly amazes me and I appreciate those businesses who have been around for a long time – plugging along thru good times and not-so-good times. They have seen it all since 1895, you know? WOW! What a treasure NYC has in McNulty’s!

I would like to take this time to write and review their Java Santosa Tea.
I would say this is a solid medium strength type black tea. The color is a nice, rich medium brown with orange-red hue.
It’s slightly sweet but a little java-bean…NOT coffee-tasting, per say, but a little bit of a hint underneath of the actual bean I guess.
This is a good and full tasting tea without being too bold and it’s NOT bitter.
If you are looking for a unique selection of quality teas and you are in NYC or online shopping for teas – check out McNulty’s!
Berry Creme from McNulty’s
Tea Type: Black Tea
Where To Buy: McNulty’s
Product Description:
There really wasn’t much of one. It just said Berry Creme Flavored Black Tea
Tasters Review:
Berry Creme from McNulty’s certainly had me intrigued about two months ago when I first heard of it. Berry? Creme? Flavored Black Tea? Many of you who know me – know I LOVE ‘different and unique teas’ and this certainly fit the bill.
Pre-Infusion this tea smells of Berries and Grapes. It’s very Wine-Like. A nicely scented Flavored Black Tea. Post-Infusion it smells like Berry flavored black tea – not as wine-like and not as grape-E. The Color is Fairly dark brown. The Taste is absolutely LOVELY. Juicy! It’s a flavored black tea, alright. I can still taste the tea, itself, but can also taste berries! I’m thinking blackberries, strawberries, Raspberries, maybe blueberries!? It’s Juicy…NOT too tart…it’s a sweeter-tart, NOT bitter tart!
I really like this tea! Another Thumbs Up for McNulty’s!
Apple Mint Tea from McNulty’s
Tea Type: Black Tea
Where To Buy: McNulty’s
Product Description:
Black Tea blended with Apple and Mint
Tasters Review:
Apple Mint Tea from McNulty’s looks and smells like Black Tea with Apple and Mint….so I guess that means it lives up to it’s description.
The color of liquid post infusion is that of a black tea…medium to medium-dark brown, I would say.
I chose this one because I cannot think of ever trying a black tea with both apple and mint in this way before.
You can certainly tell it’s a flavored black when you taste it and the apple is a nice touch – the Mint is refreshing and just enough without being too much.
Apple Mint Tea from McNulty’s really surprised me. It’s fragrant and tasty all the way thru! Another nice offering from McNulty’s!

Tasters Review:
When I was young…I had a Great Aunt Francis. I remember my mother, sister, and I visiting her often. Every time we stopped by Aunt Francis would ask me if I wanted a FRESH PLUM. I almost always said YES. While we visited with her there I sat with my plum and black tea enjoying every minute of it!
This Plum flavored black tea sure does bring me back to the Aunt Francis visits! This tea is awesomely juicy…fragrant, sweet, fruity but not tart – and VERY YUMMY!!!! It’s a nicely flavored black tea. I have yet to try it iced but I know it will be good!
