Fantastic tea, one of the best blacks teas I’ve ever had. Sweet, spicy, and creamy. Great for a desert tea or partnered with something spicy or Indian. Complex, buy in bulk because it goes quick. Not easy to get perfect, and if you get it wrong, it can be pretty bad. Use 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar along with 2 tablespoons of the chai. Add 1 tablespoon of another black tea (something woodsy) and let steep for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of milk and let boil again. When boiling remove from heat and let sit for 7 minutes. Please use whole milk, it really lets the flavors out. This tea isn’t for health, it’s a real treat. Buy this!

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

Just finished the last bit in the tin… I am going to miss you Ryokucha but there are so many different teas to try. Make no mistake I will be back. Maybe I will be lucky enough to meet you again in one of the Lounges. I have a feeling it will add to the experience. (Need to get to the west coast first though.)

Enjoying the nutty, toasty blend that is Samovar’s Ryokucha this Thanksgiving morning. What’s in your Turkeyday cup?

Haven’t had this tea in some time.. Missed it, it’s chilly outside and it will definitely be better than any cup of cocoa one might give me!

Delightful chai blend that has many traditional spices, though not every home-made tea blend contains all of these particular spices

It’s an excellent blend of flavors, and that’s exactly why I drink this particular tea

Complex tea. Malty, full bodied, leafy, with a brown rice and milky flavor. Very good and energizing (matcha powder). Good alone as a meal or mixed with wheat or put in soup with rice, vegetables, and salmon for a great meal.

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 3 min, 15 sec

I highly recommend this tea. I’m new to pu-erh, but really enjoyed drinking several pots of Blood Orange at Samovar in San Francisco.
