This beautiful tea is another fantastic example of a rare, USA-grown organic tea. With its long delicate twists, this premium black tea creates an extremely smooth, fragrant cup. Cultivated on the shores of Hawaii, this tea is harvested and manufactured in micro-lots by the Onomea Tea Company on the Big Island. Established at only 200 ft above sea level, the tea garden is situated in a picturesque location on a small peninsula that juts into the Pacific Ocean — absorbing the salty breezes and mineral rich, volcanic soil.
The handpicked, organic loose leaf tea is a blend of leaf from several different varietals and picking dates. After manufacture, the micro-lots are then hand blended by proprietors Rob and Mike to create an exclusive blend for Arbor Teas that has a lovely, complex character. The carob-brown brew is wonderfully clear and bright. The cup is deliciously aromatic offering a taste of the mineral-rich soil, layered with a hint of sweet toffee that lingers on the tongue and develops into a subtle chocolate malt with fruity notes.Quantity of tea: one and one-half tablespoons (1.5) per 8 oz cup of water
Water temperature: use water that has been heated to a full rolling boil (212° F)
Steeping time: 3-5 minutes

Leaf: Very long thick twisted dark chocolate-brown whole leaves 4 cm or less.
Fragrance: Rich pipe tobacco, straw/hay
Liquor: Brilliant clear medium copper
Aroma: Alluring chocolate
Flavor: Malted Chocolate!
3-min: Wow – This something special! It has a complex character – chocolate with perhaps hints of fruit. Medium-bodied – I’ll give it another minute.
4-min: Oh my! The additional minute has transformed this cup into a rich creamy smooth full-bodied black tea with incredibly deep rich malty milk chocolate! There was no hint of bitterness or astringency. Each sip was a genuine treat! So smooth, warm, and relaxing! Meg Ryan … has arrived once again! … As I smile from ear to ear!

8-min: Malty chocolate that was almost as deep, extremely well-balanced, and highly enjoyable to the bottom of the cup. Ah …bliss.

16-min: A lighter-bodied enjoyable cup with same balanced flavor profile.
Impression: A creamy smooth full-bodied black tea with incredibly deep rich malty milk chocolate that will also go the distance! This black tea is thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!
