Here is another of Bente Luther-Medoch’s super creative tea productions, this time a Tanzanian hand-picked black tea that has been oxidized alongside raisins. It is incredibly smooth, perfect for the morning or afternoon. The tea is rich with a lingering concentrated sweetness that is… you guessed it… reminiscent of raisins!
Bente was inspired initially to make these fruit oxidized tea by jasmine scented teas. To make Black Zabib (“Zabib” means raisin in Swahili), Bente oxdized the tea with raisins and took them out after drying (which is a little bit of a different process than she uses for her other fruit oxidized teas).
Bente’s tea overall are exceptionally smooth and easy drinking. They are EU and NOP certified organic.

FarmerleafHave tried this a couple of times now but first chance making notes.
First steep does have a lovely raisin flavor to it. A little sweeter than I would like, but its nice. Base seems to be nothing special. It doesn’t fight with the raisin flavor but doesn’t seem to have much of its own to add into the mix. It does seem smooth and isn’t competing however.
Second steep is much less raisin. Base still seems smooth and still not adding much to the experience.
Third steep I very badly over stepped because work.
There’s no raisin flavor now. Base is harsh and a bit bitter. Kind of expected that.
Overall, this is ok. Think of it as a flavored tea. The first steep is pleasant and then it drops from there. I recommend one steep and then move on to something else.
