Review: Kenilworth Tea

I didn't go into Marriage Freres looking for a black tea, but I had really enjoyed the tea I bought in Sri Lanka and was in the market for something similar....


Kenilworth [Sri Lanka, Black] ***** $   by Marriage Freres , Paris, FR

Other names: 


This tea is immediately distinctive on the nose, with a pronounced very pleasant orangey smell. I really liked this tea, as normal for a hilly black tea its very light taste and has a light brown colour. Kenilworth stands out in a subtle warm spice notes (cinnamon perhaps?) and an ever so slight bitter finish note. 

Recommended!
