Forest Hill’s Wild Black Tea Rods are one of the exceptional creations of the tea garden with the same name, specializing in the manual artisan processing of naturally cultivated tea in Sri Lanka. As part of the processing, 25 units each of the “2+1” plucking standard are skillfully twisted together into a finger-thick, tight rod. The characteristic note of wild honey defining the flavor profile reflects both the untamed nature of the tea trees and the unique processing methods used to produce this tea.

ADVENT DAY 6, tea 1/3
Today I just did completely different line-up of the teas. And brought this to the office, as it is like a tea bag and I thought that it would be great in huge mug that I have there.
And it seems that those rods are quite widespread, as Alistair from What-cha offers them, The Steeping Room as well as Rakkasan; and I am pretty sure I saw them elsewhere too. And I am pretty sure they are from same source, just bought from different vendors.
After explanation to my co-worker what I actually steep; I could drink a very malty (almost beer-y, I mean “polotmavý” style) hot liquor that was warming me inside greatly, with very smooth and round taste with long mouthfeel; and slight woody (oak) taste.
Truly wonderful and easy going tea, though I had a bit higher expectations. I wonder because of “Wild” in the name, or just expected some wow effect in flavors or scents… this one wasn’t vanilla rod, which is also offered. Maybe that was missing :)
