Golden Tips TeasThis is labelled as a Nilgiri variety, the implications of which go completely over my head.
I don’t know how this stacks against other Nilgiri teas, but it does make me want to give the wide variety of Indian black teas another thorough chance. (Golden Tips Tea has a crazy all-encompassing sampler on their website).
The medium length leaves are mostly black with some golden-white, and red speckled throughout (could be a blend?). They steep up ruddy brown and green.
The tea has a fruity aroma and flavour, coupled with a smoky woodsy note that may very well come from the box- the things you realize after you’ve dumped the tea into a flaky-painted wooden box.
Flavors: Fruity, Nutty, Pepper, Smoke, Wood
My son still calls it “water with aftertaste.”
Beautiful box!
My daughter used to say it tasted like “hot leaf pee.” She loves tea now. There is hope.
Ha, those are both good! I don’t think there’s much hope for my friend, although she doesn’t always mind chai? In this particular case, I think she was almost entirely motivated by the elephant. :)
