donkeyteaarrrraugh drank grandpa's anytime tea by Stylin' Tea

184 tasting notes

I now officially have reviews of this tea from Royal Teas of Kenya under 3 different companies’ names…. as it is no longer available from the last 2 companies that I purchased it from, I was relieved to find it available from Stylin’ Teas. I adore this CTC. It is bready, malty wonderfulness with very little astringency, which as I’m finding, is not common for Kenyan teas. If you’ve written Kenya teas off because of their astringency, try this tea. This, to me, is the perfect smooth cup of breakfast tea to go with just about anything. WARNING: Only steep this for 1 1/2 minutes or you’ll end up with hair on your chest. Seriously, you might have to buy a No-No.

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
