Tasting Notes: brisk, citrus, woody, cinnamon

Description:  A medium-bodied organic black tea with a brisk clean taste and a mild spicy aroma. Subtle hints of citrus, cinnamon, and nutmeg linger in each sip.

We recommend this Ceylon for its balanced taste and classic Ceylon flavor. This organic Ceylon is brisk and crisp with very subtle spice and citrus notes. A versatile black tea that works well hot and iced, straight up, and with milk and sugar. This is one of our new favorite black iced teas - so crisp and refreshing!
