One of my favorite bagged teas in the morning is Numi's Breakfast Blend. The tea blends four Fair Trade organic black teas: Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling and Keemun. The blend combines the best of the four types into a flavorful and pleasing brew; strong flavored yet mild.
Numi Tea was founded in 1999 by brother and sister team Reem and Ahmed Rahim and is based in Oakland, CA. All of Numi's teas are USDA Certified Organic.
And now, the details of my review:
Liquor - a caramel reddish/coffee appearance
Aroma - raisins and toast
Astringency - mild astringency, dry finish
Body/texture - nice body, has substance to it
Taste - Roasted quality. Hearty but mild. Not overpowering.
Aftertaste - slight tannin flavor
I like to save my Breakfast Blend for days that I can savor it and start the day off right!
In an upcoming blog, I'll be tasting the individual black teas that go into the blend and seeing what they add to the flavor and quality.
