Overview

Black Tower Tea takes its name from its shape: golden tips, the top two leaves and bud from each tree, rolled and pressed into a small pagoda form rather than left loose. That compression does two things — it keeps the leaf longer than loose tea would last, and it lets the tea age. Over time the compressed leaves darken and ferment slightly, deepening the flavour into something richer than a fresh-rolled black tea. The cup shows it. Expect malt and caramel on the nose, then a smooth, full-bodied sip carrying roasted peanut, toffee, molasses and a run of dark chocolate through the finish. The liquor itself brews dark amber, and the compressed leaf gives it a heavier mouthfeel than you'd get from loose leaf, with a lingering aftertaste. Brewing rewards a bit of care. Break off about 5-7 grams from the tower for a standard pot, less for a single serve, and use water just off the boil — around 96°C. Anything hotter risks scorching the leaf and flattening the flavour. Steep for 3-5 minutes; shorter for something lighter, longer if you want the roasted and molasses notes to come forward. Porcelain or glass shows the colour best. It pairs well with light snacks, and since it's compressed rather than loose, a tea strainer makes serving easier.
