Tea Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A rare and wonderful orthodox tea from Kenya: Royal Tajiri was planted over fifty years ago on naturally fertile soils at an altitude of 6700 ft in Gatundu District, amongst the foothills of Mount Kenya, alongside the Rundu and Mukengeria rivers. This gorgeous, orthodox, large leaf tea is neatly twisted and has a lovely appley and caramel aroma. In the cup it is deep bronze. It is full bodied, rich and smooth. Brew for four minutes. It may be drunk with milk.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taster’s Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed with this tea (besides the large, twisted leaves!) was the aroma of the brewed tea – as the description suggests, there is a distinct apple-like note with hints of caramel to the fragrance of this Royal Tea of Kenya Tajiri Black from Grey’s Teas. \u00a0It smells … irresistible – very autumnal!<\/p>\n

As I sip it, I’m wishing I could taste the apple that I enjoyed in scent of the tea, but there are only mere hints of a fruit-like tone. \u00a0It isn’t as distinctly apple as the aroma. \u00a0But, that’s not to say that this is not a wonderful tea … it IS. \u00a0It’s really quite a delicious tea … I just kind of got my hopes up when I smelled that apple.<\/p>\n

But there IS a delectable caramel-y tone to this tea that brings a wonderful sweetness to the sip. The tea is rich and robust. \u00a0I taste hints of a peppery like spice to it … it’s in the distance, but, with every sip, I find myself noticing just a slight hint of that pepper … as if someone ground a peppercorn in the tea when it was brewed. \u00a0There isn’t enough there to really call this a peppery or a spicy tea … or even a warmly spiced tea … but just this faint, vague whisper of pepper.<\/p>\n

There is a fair amount of astringency to this tea, that brings a drying sensation toward the finish and into the aftertaste. \u00a0The aftertaste is sweet and slightly earthy. \u00a0Overall, this is a very enjoyable cup of tea – it would make a great first thing in the morning kind of cup … as well as a great way to perk up mid-day when you need a refreshing jolt. \u00a0I like it served hot – straight up! \u00a0But … if you want to go a little indulgent … try it with a drizzle of maple syrup. \u00a0OH my!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
