Overview
Recommended for: lovers of full-bodied black teas with chocolatey, raisin notes.
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
The juxtaposition of dark leaves and golden tips gives this black tea from Colombia a beautiful appearance. The dark copper amber liquor is fragrant with toasty cocoa hints. The rich cocoa quality carries on in the flavor of the full-bodied cup, finishing with a raisin sweetness.
