 Kenya Black Natural Dryer Mouth 

A wonderful tea with exceptional Kenya taste profile. Tea the way it was meant to be. Jammy cup with malt and light floral notes.      Ingredients: Black tea

INFUSION: Golden

INFORMATION:  One of the more recent innovations has been the introduction of Natural Dryer Mouth, a hybrid of sorts between the leafy product normally associated with orthodox teas (traditional, non-CTC tea) and the typical pellet shaped, CTC teas. In Kenya, the CTC method is favored because it is perfectly suited to the sturdy leaf produced by the country's rich soil and even rainfall. Processing involves the plucked leaf being run through a series of machines after primary withering (light drying).  The teas produced are typically very full bodied with a deep rich color and profound flavor. The cup, like most Kenyans is still incredibly rich with light touches of malt but with an exceptionally fresh, very natural and almost unfinished edge, albeit a very soft one leading to a smooth finish. Natural Dryer Mouth, a new feather in Kenya's tea cap! A stunning tea - try it with a dash of milk to help open the unique profile. Note: Lelsa Plantation is a sub-section of Changoi estate and is certified by Fair Trade and the Ethical Tea Partnership, ETP.
