Lochan Tea Doke Black Fusion 2014

August 20, 2014March 1, 2020 Nicole Wilson Post a comment
Lochan Tea Doke Black Fusion 2014

Country of Origin: India
Leaf Appearance: dark, wiry with golden tips
Ingredients: black tea
Steep time: 2 minutes
Water Temperature: 205 degrees
Preparation Method: porcelain infuser mug
Liquor: dark amber

One thing that I love about the teas that I’ve tried from +Lochan Tea Limited is that they are never quite what I expected. Of course, I mean that in the best way possible. The dry leaves were mostly whole with some golden tips interspersed. I was surprised to find a depth and complexity that I’ve never really gotten from an Indian grown black tea before. The taste was robust with notes of molasses, rose and a pleasant bit of maltiness. It wasn’t exactly what I would describe as sweet but it had a unique sugary mouth-feel. I drank this on an unusually rainy and windy night and it really hit the spot. Even though this is a fairly full bodied tea I have to strongly suggest giving it a go without any additives. You would be robbing yourself of many of its nuances. There was some astringency but it never crossed the line into bitter or unpleasant.
