Doke Black Fusion
Black tea, India
20g
Caramel, molasses, malt, spice finish
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in North East India, Doke Tea is a relatively new tea garden that prides itself on its sustainable practices as well as its white, green and black teas – a variety of tea styles that is unique for a tea estate in India. This is its signature black tea.
When you pour Doke Black Fusion you will be rewarded with a vibrant, amber-coloured liquor, and notes of caramel, molasses, malt, pine and a spice finish. In subsequent steeps, the sweet notes reduce, giving way to a more malty flavour and astringent mouthfeel.
Preparation: Steep for 2 minutes at 95°. Three infusions.
Food pairing: This tea is the perfect pair to a cheese board and to soft cheeses in particular. It works nicely with muesli and granola or a morning or afternoon snack of bliss balls and pastries.
