From Numi Organic Tea

This noble tea is grown in the mist covered mountains of Yunnan province. What distinguishes this fine, organic black tea is its perfect sense of balance, exquisite tiger’s eye color, and a lean vibrancy which makes it suitable at any time of day. Like a complex wine, it is the perfect tea for food, marrying well with a wide variety of dishes. It has a distant and hard to place floral quality, yet it leaves the mouth tasting as clean as spring water. And it energizes the body and mind more harmoniously than the best of coffees. We are proud to bring you this high grade leaf.

I think everyone else hit it with their reviews. This is my go-to tea bag black tea that I carry with me to weekend breakfast out. (hot tea isn’t very popular in my neck of the woods). This was the tea that made me want to try new teas.

This is my favorite black tea EVER! It is so mellow and has layers of flavor (malty, chocolaty, smoky). I get at least two cups from each bag. It’s organic and tastes as good as many loose Yunnans.

Very nice. Another from the sample pack from my Hunny’s father. I tried it without milk at first, as I usually drink Chinese tea sans dairy. However, in this case, I wasn’t impressed. I added a splash of milk, and things got a whole lot better! I found it to be similar to my Scottish Breakfast Tea (weird), but certainly not exactly the same. I didn’t even think of it at the time, but in hind sight, I make that connection… Hm… Whatever. It’s a nice tea.

This didn’t strike me as anything amazing. I thought it was taste great with the cinnamon rolls I had for breakfast. Maybe the cinnamon rolls stole the show.

I was prepared to dislike this but found I drank whole cup without complaint.

This may replace my English Breakfast as my morning tea. I steeped it for 3 minutes, and it is the perfect gentle cup of tea for the morning. No aftertaste, no bitterness, just a lovely balance of black tea and orange pekoe.
