When brewing Super Pekoe, when you first add water to the tea leaves you’ll notice a slightly sweet scent that fades quickly into the scent of green grass on a spring morning with a heavy dew. This tea brews a dark rich amber liquor that leans to the lighter side of black tea flavors.
Super Pekoe maintains a subtly sweet scent throughout the sipping experience and focuses on the more nuanced subtleties found in the black tea families. We recommend that you enjoy this tea neat but if you want to bring out more of the sweetness add a spoonful of milk to your cup.

Rinsed once and brewed Gongfu style.
Some nice sweet malty notes on the nose, once rinsed.
Infusion 1 – 30 Seconds
Smooth and savory, straightforward wood notes with a malted body and a slightly sweet/tannic finish. When aerated over the palate I get sweetness balanced by astringency. It’s a pretty middle of the line black tea but tastes great!
The wet leaves have a roasted balsa wood smell and warm vegetation.
Infusion 2 – 40 Seconds
Smoothing out a little as the leaves open up. Still strong and malty, black tea with a bit of nuance in mid-sip.
Infusion 3 – 50 Seconds
Mellowing out on this infusion, water is much clearer and the leaves have yielded much of their flavor. I will bump the time on my 4th and final infusion.
Infusion 4 – 75 Seconds
Getting a little light here, I would say this is good for 3 infusions and possibly bump the time out on the 3rd. I have a bit of astringency on the finish and the flavor is not as present on the body.
Still, overall, this was a solid black tea and pleasant at any time of day.
Flavors: Malty, Sweet, Tannic, Woody
