The aroma for Teatulia’s Black Tea is very light. Too light to really judge whether their “apricot” claim is true. But I dis catch some nuttiness and smokiness in there.

The leaves are roughly 1/8 an inch long, with golden tips throughout. Together they brew a light caramel gold liquor.

This brew comes out clean and smooth. No real astringency, but there is some drying of the palate. You definitely get the nuttiness and the smokiness here in the flavor. The texture is smooth, almost creamy.

I would recommend this tea to fans of Sri Lankan (Ceylon) black teas, such as those from New Vithanakande, and for fans of other Himalayan teas, such as those from Jun Chiyabari in Nepal. Fans of orthodox Assam teas and Autumnal Darjeelings may also find this brew pleasing.

Wednesday is Green Tea, White Tea, Rooibos, Oolong and Tisane (Herbal) Review Day!

White tea is said to be the rarest of all teas. While this can be disbuted by fans of Yellow teas, it’s hard to argue that white teas from Bangladesh are likely up there on the rare tea list!

Teatulia‘s claims to fame are their Organic and Fair Trade teas from Bangladesh. Their teas and packaging are the most earth friendly possible, claiming to be 100% biodegradeable. I take this to include the tape, which could certainly be a soy based plastic.

This white tea presents itself with long slender white and silver leaves. Most are lightly twisted, and some are darker than others.

The liquor brews up a beautiful amber orange with tinges or yellow around the edges.

Its aroma is light and sweet with just the slightest hints of smokiness. This matches almost perfectly with the flavor which also holds hints of straw. While the tea is not notably strong it has a discernable tail.

I recommend this tea for fans of white teas and more earthy oolongs and light black teas.
