Every now and then, somebody comes to our Tasting Room with something quite remarkable. The Waikato Black Loose Leaf Tea was one of those memorable occasions. We had to add it to our collection and share it with you.
A first for us from New Zealand; showcasing an innovative new tea terroir and mastery.
Tasting Notes
This whole leaf black tea has a full-bodied biscuity mouth feel that’s both distinct and gentle. Notes of gingerbread and late summer honey.
Company description not available.
Even for people, like myself, that love to adventure with different teas and companies, we have our cupboard staples and this is one of mine. In fact, I have a tea pot just for this tea. If you haven’t tried any New Zealand teas yet I highly recommend them. The terroir there makes for some really tasty teas. The leaf is a dark chocolate color with a slightly dusty texture and minimal twist. This is a perfect tea for the fall. Loads of Sweet potato, fresh and with a bit of maple syrup notes. Roasted sweet potato skin. Maybe a hint of thyme. The mouth feel is smooth. Butternut squash skin. Sweet and delectable. Though if you enjoy roast notes you can steep it longer and the sweetness becomes taken over with charcoal and burnt sweet potato skin. This one can last many sessions too.
New Zealand stuff is some of my faav. I used to get Zealong stuff from the Kiwi Importer for discounts.
I just checked out their page. That is sweet as! Thank you!
I was just reading a novel and this company was mentioned! Corduroy Mansions was the book.
