Default South African Ntingwe Kwazulu black tea

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.
