Liquor	Light brown.
Aroma	Citrus with hints of spice, this tea is reminiscent of a nice Ceylon tea.

Our Review

Livingstonia is another orthodox (old-school) style tea, following in the footsteps of Kenya Milima. So, in contrast to most other African teas, Livingstonia is light and subtle. This tea comes from Tanzania.

Livingstonia

Average Review:

This is a surpringingly mellow tea. It has a body like a full Assam, but the delicacy of a mild Ceylon. Reminiscent of a rich Sikkim.

This is my first cup, but if it's this good gain, I'd give it a fifth star.

Colonialism never tasted so good.

Benjamin 12/3/12

Smooth and soft

Average Review:

This is a great tea, but I would have to recommend the Kenya Milima. The livingstonia is a lighter tea, If you prefer light teas go for this one. But if you like your teas dark like me, Kenya is a better option.
