I have just tried some black Kenyan Teas and one from Malawi. Two of them turned out to be excellent. A TGFOP Kenyan from the Kosabei Estate. It is described as being both light and profound, gentle and astringent with notes of malt, currants and moist earth. It lived up to its description and more. Many Kenyan teas are used to blend and give increased strength especially to breakfast teas. This one easily stands alone for a delicious cup of tea, with milk or without. I will be stocking this one shortly, it is a keeper.
The other tea I was impressed with is a BP1 from the Satemwa Estate in Malawi. It is a smaller cut so brews up a little stronger with a very coppery color. It has its own sweetness but with a little milk and sweetner it brews up to be a great treat. It would be great for blending and would add a unique taste to any black blend or alone with a bit of milk and honey(it reminded me as a great base for Thai iced tea) I will be stocking this as well
