Black loose leaf tea can be very strong and overwhelming, but this Balin Gongfu from Teavivre tea is rich and smooth without bitterness. The pack states two to three minutes in hot water, but as I always add milk I fund that a little too short and upped it to 5 minutes. A malty, almost nutty flavour, this tea is a lovely treat to enjoy in the quiet moments with a good book, or even to create your own peaceful idyll in the middle of a fast paced day.
The leaves can be used for multiple cups and just require a slightly longer brew for the re-used leaves than for the first infusion. A very different taste to English Breakfast tea, the standard Black Tea used in supermarket teabags, this is a tea to savour and indulge.
