Organic Indian Black Tea, Abali Estate, Arunachal

And now for something completely different. If you haven’t heard about Arunachal Pradesh or Abali before, prepare to be delighted. When we first received this tea, we just had to stare and wonder at these gorgeous, long, hand-rolled orthodox leaves with prominent tips. Simply smelling the aroma from the leaf had us floored before we had even taken our first sip. When brewed, it produced a wonderful mellow, golden liquor that was pleasantly smooth and refreshing. Tasting this tea brought back visions of a light mist hovering over tea bushes at dawn. Enjoy hot or iced.

Be sure to check out our exclusive Behind The Cup interview with the producer of this tea. It’s a remarkable story about sustainability that you will not want to miss.

Chocolatey (and YUMMY!!)

Nov 12, 2008 by: Sue, San Francisco, CA 5

You will be floored by the chocolate aroma as soon as you open the pouch. The chocolate flavor is not as strong when you brew. But the flavor is exquisite. A unique tea, to say the least.
