Mad Hatter (black)

Name:  Mad Hatter


Brand:  White Heather


Primary Type:  Black


Dry Scent:  Rich, earthy black tea with the juicy fruit scents of papaya, peachy passionfruit and something that smells a little like tangerine.  Very sweet and juicy and appetizing!


Steeping Time: 5-6 min


Steeped Flavour:  Slightly tannic, but the passionfruit is the strongest flavour in here, followed by the papaya and a little of the vanilla for overall sweetness.  This is a tea that makes me think of summer and fine chocolates.


Food/Drink Pairings:  A perfect "teatime" tea, especially if you go to the White Heather Tearoom and have it with one of their afternoon tea offerings.  Also wonderful for dipping cookies into, of course!


Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6


Buy/Don't Buy

Unfortunately for all you folks abroad, you can only get this one in Victoria.  If you're in the area though, I do recommend White Heather as a great place to have afternoon tea, or another lovely snack or lunch.
