Black tea from the Tinderet Estate in Kenya.
This is a very strange looking tea. Like tinny little balls that resemble bird seed - Yoshi certainly seemed to think so.
DavidsTea recommended 4-7 minutes for steeping. I had to stop at three minutes because it was looking incredibly dark and I really did not want something too strong.
This is a very robust tea. Take it slow on the steeping, I would recommend even starting with one minute. It reminds me of orange pekoe, if it had been steeped for about ten minutes. There is a very slight hint of honey, but it is by no means sweet. Incredibly earthy.
If you want a kick in the ass of caffeine from your tea, this is definitely something to give a try.
I really don't think that this tea is for me, it is just too strong, but some people may really be in to that.
Happy Steeping,
