Description

Rukeri Estate Black tea is organically grown in Rwanda. The Rukeri estate was founded by Europeans almost 50 years ago and produces 3,000 t of orthodox tea per year. This bold black tea is a fine breakfast tea.

In order to preserve the delicate leaves and keep them from breaking, they are minimally handled during the withering process. The dry tea leaves are long, dark brown, wiry, full, and fragrant. Its aroma is sweet and bold.

Rukeri Estate Black tea steeps in a robust and wonderful full-bodied cup; the smooth, malty mid notes of the tea are balanced with a clean, crisp finish and pleasant stone fruit aftertaste.

Very nice! Sweet, fragrant and not at all bitter. Best made with water off the boil for a few minutes.

This is now my favorite black tea. It tastes like a more exotic/flavorful version of classic unsweetened tea. Incredibly smooth and delicious.

I very much liked this tea! It has a very nice smell (sweet and warm spice). I like that, when brewed, it’s a nice medium brown colour so perfect for a splash of milk. It is not bitter and is very smooth. I will definitely be buying this again. I liked it more than my favourite which is the orange pekoe. Thank you for stocking this great tea!
