Tanzanian (BP1)  Black Tea - Organic (2 oz loose leaf)

Organic Tanzanian Black Tea (BP1) (2 oz loose leaf)

A full-bodied malty character with some fruity hints. Takes milk very well. This tea is certified organic and as the vendor puts it: "Tanzania is a poor country and the use of pesticides and fertilizers is rare even in the Njombe district."  

Tanzania is a relatively small producer of tea in world terms. The teas produced are somewhat similar to Kenyan teas in that they have malty tending fruity/flavory characteristics. The production is primarily CTC (cut, torn and curled), which produces a fuller bodied tea but a non-traditional (from a specialty tea perspective) visual appearance. This tea is produced in northern Tanzania close to the Kenyan border and not far from a wild life area called The Ngorongo Crater. The soil conditions and altitude combine to give the tea the flavor notes. It's an interesting and flavorful tea, which is perfect for afternoon tea or early morning 'cuppas'.
