Coffees that taste of black tea

Of the 182 coffees in this catalogue, 7 carry black tea as a tasting note — most often Rwanda, Ethiopia and Burundi lots at a light-medium roast, priced $21.25 – $29.00.

Dry, tannic and light-bodied, with the astringency of a steeped tea rather than the sweetness of fruit. Common in high-altitude washed African coffee and in some Gesha.

Most of them are washed-processed. It most often shares a bag with red currant, cane sugar and blackberry.
