drank Mt. Kenya Black by Justea
790 tasting notes

I just got my tea from JusTea’s Indiegogo campaign.

It smells very malty and deep. The leaves are not huge, but most definitely not the standard African CTC type.

It’s very good. Very Assamy in a way. Malty with a little grassy flavor in the background maybe. Dry but not astringent or bitter. It does indeed taste and smell very fresh. I’d definitely try their Kenyan Earl Grey and I’d probably order from them again once I work through this initial 200 grams. (Assuming a reasonable shipping rate from Canada.) :)

Nice! Hoping to hear from them someday though apparently my messages are the ones that keep going poof lol. If not, I’ll steal some from you or cavocorax :)

Well, I’ve sure got enough to share. :)

Wow, you must have contributed a lot! I did the sampler and got 3×15g. They won’t last long, but I could save you a cup.
