Perennial Tea Room

Origin: Iran
Product Description: Black tea from northern Iran. Beautiful long leaves and a taste as smooth as silk with notes of honey as it cools in your cup. This latest picking is lighter than last years and sweeter - maintaining the sweetness as it cools.

The dry leaves have an aroma of peanut shells and seared wood.
The orange amber infusion has a sweet aroma of stone fruit, baked squash, and a hint of cinnamon. The taste is smooth, sweet, and spicy with notes of dates, honey, and wood and a long sweet finish.
This is a forgiving tea, encouraging long steeps. The sweet taste lingered long after the first cup and I almost didn't want to interrupt it. A second infusion produced smoky notes in flavor and aroma while the honey notes moved to the front. A third infusion was less nuanced while still being sweet and delicious.
This tea was purchased by me.
