Backlog:
A very robust black tea – lots of gusto to this one. This is one that can give your day an energizing boost. The black tea base is comprised of three different teas, although the website for Inca Tea did not indicate which teas are used. I suspect that there is an Assam in there because of the rich, malty tones and the hint of bitter. It has a very round taste to it. It’s a really pleasing, satisfying tea.
The purple corn doesn’t add a really strong flavor to the cup, but I can taste notes of ‘grain’ that I attribute to the corn and I like the way these flavors play with the notes of malt.
A really enjoyable cup. It’s a tea I’d recommend if for no other reason than the fact that it’s different (purple corn!) and I’d love to find out what others think of it.
