REVIEW
Brewed
A deeper yellow brew.
Scent
If you don’t know that special Pekoe scent you will have to familiarize with it. It’s a rich scent only specific to pekoe prepared teas. it’s earthy and rich, with an ever so slight vegetal scent.
Flavor
This is where the powerhouse of Pekoe teas are known for. This is not a typical Pekoe but a special tea broken and prepared loose leaf tea. It’s flavor is roasted to almost burnt, just on the cusp of a burnt flavor, strong and earthy.
Sentiments
What’s not to love? This tea is tea perfection. Iced or hot, the way you like it. You can make it like a coffee or drink it plain. I’m thrilled with this. All too often a Pekoe tea is processed so much and put into tea bags, this is a loose leaf. The loose leaf gives it an ultimate brewing pleasure and flavor that will enchant. And the Golden tea is organic. That makes Organic Gold a plus in my book.
