Tea Reviews | It's All About The Leaf

A blend of China and Sri Lankan teas.

Dry leaf appearance: teeny black leaves with a brown leaves intermingled throughout the blend. The smell of the dry leaves reminds me of grapes that are over ripe.

As the hot water enters the stage, the leaves are dancing in my glass tea cup. As the leaves unfurl, they are moving up and down in my cup. The bottom of my cup is now filled with leaves. As I pull the glass infuser basket out of the cup, I notice that a few leaves escape through the tiny holes, then I remember how small I thought dry leaves were in the package.

The color in my tea cup is burnt orange. The smell wafting from my cup is of grapes on the vine that have just arrived at that perfect moment of ripeness. I did not enjoy this tea, too bitter for me. This is one tea that makes me think that my tastes are not refined enough to find enjoyment with this tea.

You can purchase the Connoisseur directly from the Grace Tea Company website.
