Kibena EstateTanzania, Black Tea

Unique leaf style: small pellets like coarse-ground coffee. Good color but little flavor. Tastes dusty, perhaps not suited for gaiwan brewing.
Tea: Upton Tea, TK07 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Spring

Upton Tea description: "This CTC offering has characteristic African style, producing a dark, flavorful infusion with a full mouth feel. The cup has a robust character without bitterness. The layered flavor notes include hints of chicory and suggestions of rose."
