This is a proprietary tea from Taylor of Harrogate. I accidently
discovered this by running across a tea shoppe called House of Commons while biking through the lastest whatever Gen N urban infill you want to call the place off of downtown. Ive never seen TOH in what looked like 2kg tins. They carried the complete line. This is a CTC. It brews instantaneously. It is the prettiest blood red similar to Keemun. There is a fruity note. It is very mild with no sting. I cant think of any other black tea that is as drinkable by itself. Id serve this with no cream or sugar to anybody. It is hard to explain but it is one of those few black teas where the ordor sticks to your hands and face. The second and third infusions hold up. TOH struck a diamond mine here. Ill drink this in place of Yorkshire Gold. I also got something called Yunnan Royal Golden. It is a very decent Dian Hong. Since the store stocked TOH I assume this is only available through a licensing agreement since I cant find it on their retail site. I made a note to visit again as I suspect this arrangement is a better tea quality than their comparable retail. I met the British owner who knows my local British tea shoppe owner. Jim |
