Hooked again on loose leaf tea

I'm a little out of practice with loose leaf tasting, getting back into it.

First, I noticed the smell of the dry leaves. I did not note any chemical smells, but the aroma wasn't strong. The liquor was not strong to my unpracticed sense of smell either, it was a pretty pale reddish brown,; I was suspicious that it wasn't going to be strong or robust enough. The smell of the liquor was of course stronger than the dry leaves, but I would need help to describe it accurately- descriptions online will tell you smokey and floral, and that seems right. I drank it black. I was struck by how smooth it went down. I would not describe it as "robust" but it certainly had enough flavor. I would think that if you're used to something stronger, then maybe enjoy this late morning or early afternoon.

Hours later, I still felt more alert, more focused, and calmer than my usual self.

That is a very helpful and accurate review - highlights of this tea are mellow, smooth, no astringency and just enough caffeine to give you a boost. And you are quite right, dry leaf aroma is no indicator for varietals - it is the infused leaf that carries any characteristic aroma associated with that particular tea.

Delightfully pleasant!

One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.

Throughout the week, I rotate through different varieties of black tea. This bold, malty breakfast tea is one of my favorites and always on my rotation list! A perfect kick-start to the day or an afternoon pick-me-up.

A more robust Darjeeling

I know that first flush tea is highly esteemed for its elegant, delicate flavor but I like my teas a little stronger. This second flush Makaibari still has the distinctive fragrant, floral character of Darjeeling, but with bolder flavor for a great morning wake-me-up!

My husband and I found this tea ZingyZang about 15 years ago and have been drinking it since. We have tried many teas and consider ourselves tea snobs. We thoroughly enjoy this tea.
