Iris Assing (verified owner) – November 10, 2016
Product: A bit weeker than we assumed it would be, so we need a lot of tea which makes it rather expensive.
Service: Brilliant teas and excellent choices for every taste

Product: All teas i have tried from this site have been of good quality, in fact the choice is somewhat overwhelming. However Kenya orthodox tea TGFOP1is my tea of choice.
I’m no expert but it seems to me this tea is what I regard as a traditional tasting tea similar to tea that I enjoyed over 50 years ago (but better). The reason I like it is it has a good strength and body but also with a certain delicacy and nice clean taste. A thoroughly enjoyable compromise.
Service: good choice and efficiently dispatched once ordered.

First tasting of this tea – and a great delight. A rich aroma and soft cocoa on the palate. Could be enjoyed at anytime, day or night. Will be a regular addition to the order.

Colin (verified owner) – August 3, 2023
Kenya varietal tea – a first for me.
The falvour is overwhelmingly that of baked, slightly caramelised apple, or pasteurised/UHT sweet apple juice.
For me, it makes a nice breakfast tea – it seems to fit well with cereal and milk.

This excellent tea is bound to become a regular standard. A top quality Kenyan.
