Africa’s finest black tea, reminiscent of a traditional Assam with golden tips, produces an elegant cup. Milima means ‘mountain’ or ‘high place’ in the local Kenyan ‘Swahili’ language. After plucking first thing in the morning, the leaves are gently rolled in order to maintain the floral character and obtain the twisted leaf appearance. After 3 separate rolls, the leaf is allowed to oxidize before being dried. The liquors of Milima are bright and orange in color, and impart a floral aroma and taste with a delicious malty almost Bordeaux like character. 4oz package |
