The quality of this product stands out, and it's one of the strongest flavored black teas I've had out of a bag. The base Kenyan tea, with finely chopped leaves, turns dark quickly and releases a somewhat bitter, noticeably astringent, dense tea flavor out into the water. Ginger, being a strong spice, balances that firmly, and Ajiri doesn't shortchange the quantity of either the spice or base tea (...http://ratetea.com/review/3745/http://ratetea.com/review/3745/Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:12:45 ESTslightly sweet smell, fairly strong...flavor is quite strong (5 minute steep) and obviously of black tea...slight bitterness..value unknown (gift from alex)... nothing else besides black tea though...blandhttp://ratetea.com/review/3045/http://ratetea.com/review/3045/Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:35:05 ESTI thought this to be a very original blend, top-notch. Very intense lemon fragrance, holding its own against the base tea. Like most lemon myrtle, there's a deep woody or resinous undertone, making a very complex aroma, combined with the malty but fresh aroma of the Kenyan black tea. The lemon myrtle really holds its own against this strong tea, cutting through and leading to a blend with two strong components co-existing side-by-side. The only downside to this is its astringency...the pure Ajiri t...http://ratetea.com/review/2893/http://ratetea.com/review/2893/Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:15:02 ESTSampled at the Philly Coffee and Tea Festival. Intensely aromatic: although most rooibos strikes me as more or less similar, this one actually stood out. The aroma is both powerful and complex, earthy, and with tones of vanilla. Medium-body, with a creamy texture. Ajiri Tea seems to do a consistently excellent job of sourcing high-quality ingredients; I remain impressed with everything I've tried from them. I love that this is a company whose business model and philosophy I can stand behind, but t...http://ratetea.com/review/1995/http://ratetea.com/review/1995/Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:46:02 ESTThis tea is interesting. It has a kind of smoky aroma, and a crisp flavor. It's a bit bitter, but I like it. I added cream and sugar. http://ratetea.com/review/1304/http://ratetea.com/review/1304/Tue, 13 Sep 2011 08:40:09 ESTThis tea was remarkably high-quality for the fact that it is finely broken, mechanically-processed CTC tea. It was also incredibly interesting! Aroma is grainy, slightly malty, and very pleasing. Has somewhat of a high-grown character, combined with malty characteristics. Rather distinct. I can see how others say it would have a cocoa or chocolatey quality too. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, smooth. What strikes me about this tea is that it is full-bodied but has a certain pleasing lightness to i...http://ratetea.com/review/1134/http://ratetea.com/review/1134/Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:14:52 ESTThis is a tasty but basic black tea, with a great cause. The leaves are tiny, dark, and pellet-like. Not what I was expecting, but I didn't want to judge on just the leaf appearance alone. The leaves have a lovely sweet cocoa scent. after steeping, the liquor tastes of whole wheat toast, and dark chocolate. It is a strong brew that is very basic, perfect for the morning and would hold up well to milk and sugar. It's an easy tea to over-steep, so be very careful A teaspoon for each cup is more than enou...http://ratetea.com/review/877/http://ratetea.com/review/877/Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:58:02 ESTThis is a really, really nice tea. At first I was leery - I've had some awful stuff from Kenya, but I've also had some good. This is a good straightforward black, not many nuances, but it is fine tasting. And all the profits go to provide schools for orphans in their section of Kenya. It is CTC or fannings grade, so don't brew it more than 2-3 minutes
