Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Black
Dry Scent: Rich, sweet, a little like icing and very much of chocoatey cake scent. This smells like dessert, pure and simple. The black tea's scent is there if you really search, and its earthiness keeps the rest of the scents from being cloyingly sweet.
Steeping Time: 5-6 min
Steeped Flavour: Sweet, but not overpoweringly so. The first taste that crosses the tongue is actually the dark muskiness of the black tea and a hint of beets, followed by the warm chocolateyness and then the lingering white chocolate sweetness almost like cream cheese icing.
Food/Drink Pairings: This is a great stand-alone dessert tea. I suppose you could start the day with it, if you were feeling a bit wicked, but apart from rich cakes or chocolate, this doesn't pair well with food. It would, though, do nicely with a little Bailey's added to it, or Godiva. Any chocolate liqueur would do.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
