Tanzania Luponde Black Organic Tea FOP from Simpson & Vail
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 4th, 2022
This was one of the higher-quality teas I've tried from Tanzania, pleasing to drink, unique and interesting, also extraordinarily value-priced.
The dry leaf has a pleasant and potent aroma, malty and with a hint of caraway and fruity notes. The leaf is on the intact / whole side of what I would expect for the FOP gr...
Tanzania Luponde Black Organic Tea FOP from Simpson & Vail

This tea has a lovely floral and slightly bready taste and aroma that I really love! It has no issues with astringency and it is only slightly bitter, but in a good way. It’s medium bodied and overall a very decent cup of tea!

Tanzania BOP CTC (Nr. 69) from Carstensens Tehandel

Half-litre pot at home, made from very fine dark brown and black leaves of black tea. According to the salesman that sold the tea to me, this sort, which looks like granulate and smells like Assam, is native to Tanzania and I would like to discover more about it. Pours nearly clear copper brown (against white china) wi...

Now this is an interesting alternative to Asian teas. It has its own nutty character and is very tasty with lemon/lime (not as good with milk).

Organic Tanzania Single Estate Blend Black Tea from Red Rose Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania65 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 25th, 2017
This tea seems decent. The aroma is musky and somewhat smoky. It tastes a bit bitter, and similar to other cheap black teas. I wouldn't choose it over other black teas, but I wouldn't mind drinking more of it. I added cream and sugar.

My son visited Tanzania ,and brought back the Green Label Tea for me because he knows I'm an avid tea drinking. It's the best tea I've ever tried. I live in the NYC area and am now searching for a local vendor.

Premium - Loose from Chai Bora

Thanks again to Jim, who brought this to me from Tanzania. I tried this side-by-side with the Tanzanian Green Label Tea. Although both are dark, finely-broken black teas from Tanzania, the two are surprisingly different.
The dry leaf of this tea is a little more uniform in size, slightly darker, and slightly less ...
Green Label Tea (Tanzania) from Green Label Tea (Tanzania)

Thank you to Jim, who brought this back for me from Tanzania!
I was really impressed by the quality of this tea. It is among the best finely-broken CTC teas that I've tried. It reminded me quite a lot of the Fahari Ya Kenya Tea, although I think I preferred that tea slightly to this one.
Like the Fahari Ya tea,...
Livingstonia GFOP from Harney and Sons
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 31st, 2015
A multifaceted, but somewhat subdued tea.
The dry leaf of this tea has a fruity smell, suggesting sweetness, but not very strong.
Upon brewing, the cup smells like wintergreen, pine needles, and moss, like the forest floor in a northern pine forest, but the flavor is very mellow and subdued and many of the notes ...
Livingstonia Estate Tanzania GFOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 5th, 2015
The dry leaf smells mild, but pleasant and interesting, hinting at baked goods.
Produces a moderately full-bodied cup, only lightly bitter, with a somewhat subdued flavor. The aroma is a little weak, and easy to ignore. I find if I pay attention to it though, it's quite interesting, I do notice the hints of mace t...
Kibena Estate Tanzania BP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 30th, 2015
A kind of odd CTC tea; the dry leaf is pleasantly aromatic, suggesting grains or bread, but the aroma is a little flat and suggests a relatively low grade of tea.
Brews up a rich, dark, very full-bodied cup. Initially tastes smooth, but there is a strong muted bitterness that I find becomes stronger as I drink it. ...
Organic Tanzania Single Estate Blend Black Tea from Red Rose Tea

I received this tea bag as a sample at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival. It's encouraging to see a company like Red Rose experimenting with single-estate teas, and I also liked that this is both organic and fair trade certified.
Tea bag is not very aromatic, and upon brewing, the cup isn't very aromatic eit...

I usually drink PG Tips. Chai Bora Black tea has it over the other by far. I was in Africa and drank the Chai Bora and loved it. It makes a good strong cup of tea without the bitterness of some. If you can find it buy it. I have run out and wish I had bought more while I was in Africa.

Love this tea. Went to Tanzania for one month and drank only this tea.
I got some tea bag to bring home but I'm running out :(

I sampled this tea at World Tea East and liked it a lot, wrote the review, but waited to post it until the tea was actually released.
I have actually now sampled a handful of black tea from Tanzania, including the mainstream brand Chai Bora, and single estate teas, both orthodox and CTC.
This tea had a malty arom...
Season's Pick Bulwa Estate PF1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Tanzania67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 24th, 2011
Very fine fannings; dry leaf has little aroma.
Upton recommends 1-3 minutes, I prefer steeping only 30-45 seconds, and using a bit more leaf than recommended, as it brings out the interesting qualities of the aroma while keeping the tea smoother and milder.
Brewing like this produces a very smooth and clean tea. ...
Livingstonia Estate GFBOP from Upton Tea Imports

May. 16th, 2011
This was an interesting change of pace, and one of the most unusual black teas I've tried to date. But unlike some unusual teas, this tea was not just different, it was different in a way that I especially enjoyed.
There is some wintergreen in the aroma. It reminds me of a Ceylon tea from the Uva region of Sri Lan...

I was pleasantly surprised with this teabag; it's just fannings/dust and doesn't look like much, but even the dry teabag is pleasantly aromatic. The name surprised me--I was expecting a kind of spiced tea but then I realized that "Chai Bora" is just the brand name. And "chai" just means tea after all!
The brewed t...
