Black tea has so many fans around the world and yet, there is not enough appreciation of the variety of flavour that different Black teas can produce.

In this flight box we present three Black teas with very different aroma profiles to taste side-by-side. By experiencing a flight of teas in a horizontal tasting we can directly compare the teas directly and learn more about them in the process.

This Black Tea Flight box contains three top quality teas which have been selected for comparative tastings. The box contains a letter written by myself to explain the key differences between the teas and how these affect the sensory experience.

The box contains tasting cards to fill out for your reference. Once you have completed a comparative tasting there will be plenty of tea remaining for individual tea sessions.

This box contains:
