I really enjoy malty teas. Being new to "premium" teas, the first one
I tasted was a Kenya Black from Teavana (I don't think they offer more info than that name) which is very malty. It reminds me of when I used to homebrew. I have tasted a couple of other black teas Ceylon at Wholefoods (don't know who they use) and an Assam I got from Upton (Tippy Orthodox GFOP Assam TA40). They were both somewhat malty but they don't have that boiling wort maltiness that the Kenya Black has. For that level of maltiness do I need to stick with the less expensive Kenya black teas or are there others? I have also bought from Upton - Kenilworth Estate OP1 Wilson Select and China Keemun Mao Feng - but have not opened them. On another note, the description of the Yunnan Compressed Green Tuo Cha in Upton sounds interesting but I read on this board someone say they would not feed it to his/her dogs. Any suggestions about malty teas and/or the Tuo Cha? Thanks, Rene' |
