Very Nice Rich Flavor

I gave this tea a try after finding it in a local shop in Frenchtown, NJ. I was very impressed with the the loose version. Nice robust, warm flavor with hints of baked goods, chocolate and a pleasant maltiness.

Very enjoyable!

An absolute delight

High-quality teas for any time of day – I have a pot of loose leaf black tea in the morning, rooibos in the afternoon, and rooibos chai in the evening, but you do you. So much care and thought has gone into the design and packaging too, making Ajiri Tea a must-have for any tea lover. An absolute delight to drink and enjoy, as well as supporting a wonderful cause.
