Ep 17 - "Black Thunder" Is A Black Tea With Complex Flavors From Spices To Cherries
Description
The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, and filmmaker, Josh Hyde, steep a second Flush Darjeeling black tea known as the “Black Thunder” of flavor. Black Thunder is a particularly malt-forward second flush Darjeeling from Rohini Tea Estate in Darjeeling, India. Second flush teas, meaning teas harvested in the summer after the tea bushes have regrown their leaves from the first spring harvest, are traditionally given a full oxidation and made into black teas. This very nice whole-leaf Darjeeling is everything one should expect from a quality second flush Darjeeling. It is highly infusible and contains strong notes of dark cherries, fennel, and wild honey. This is a very comforting tea appropriate for any style of tea brewing. Recommended for fans of Indian black teas. Find the highest quality teas at Trident Cafe and Teas. Trident Cafe and Teas sources directly from tea farmers and maintains long term relationships with their farmers worldwide. These relationships have created one of the highest quality tea supply chains in the U.S.
