I actually only ordered this tea out of curiosity, but from the first sip I was convinced. This is a perfect balance of malty tea and the subtle sweetness and aromas of chocolate. I’m not a big fan of hot chocolate as it often just tastes of sugar, but this tea has the same feeling of comfort and a ’treat’ that hot chocolate gives, while still being light and refreshing. This will now be a staple in my tea cupboard!
Of the three green or greenish teas, I source from Karma, Shangri-La Oolong is my number one favourite. I enjoy drinking this tea at any time of the day and always look forward to its wonderful colour and feel in my mouth. I brew these tea leaves at least three times and the second brew is always my favourite
Malabar Mao Feng is my green tea of choice at Karma. It is a delightful tea and a pleasure to drink. I usually get three brews from my 2.5gm leaves, the second brew after the leaves have been wet once, tasting the best.
A delightful green tea, with the unusual cachet that it does not come from China or Japan but India. I prefer to brew this tea for a shorter period than recommended. It goes very well with food and is tastes well on its own too. It also provides a satisfying mouthful, when drank with a large draft of tea, giving a full body.
Lovely tea, friendly company - very professional

All black tea that I have purchased for the past 10 years in the United States is absolutely tasteless. The various companies are sell this inferior product as Oolung, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast and other classical names, which is a blatant lie. I do not believe that the necessary steps in processing are taken. In Massachusetts they sell Boston Tea Party tea, which is also tasteless. South Carolina now produces much tea and I suppose most brands originate from that source. I wonder if past sources in India and China have begun to short circuit necessary steps in manufacture or ir these are no longer available in the United States.
