Review of Java Superior Malabar (Nr. 77)

| Excellent | Good | Good Value |
One-litre pot at home, made from fine very dark and black curved leaves, resembling Assam. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of black tea, combining good features of both Assam and Yunnan scents. Bitter, leafy flavour with mild malty notes and mild spicy hints. Medium astringent palate - the tea is said to be low on tannin - with a leafy aftertaste and mild touches of spice. A nice and enjoyable black tea. It might become my next staple. Fair price (38 DKK per 100 g).
