The Library: Malty Black Tea

Rated 4.6 out of 5
Based on 241 reviews

Tastes Like: buttered toast, brown bread, almond
Feels Like: morning in the library

The Library was previously known as Leatherbound. Same tea, new name!

Picture the dark wooden walls of a library lined with rows of books, like the iconic Long Room of Trinity College in Dublin. There is a seductive atmosphere that is both austere and comforting. The bready aroma of this tea is complemented by the unique nuttiness of caraway. This high grade black assam tea has a velvety mouthfeel and rich flavor. Hints of cocoa and sweet almond aromas enliven the mix, like the occasional contemporary novel whose glossy cover pops against the worn literary classics. A drop of milk tips the flavor towards a smooth creamy stout. Like sinking into a stately club chair to ponder the pages between your hands, this tea invites reflection. This makes a rich breakfast tea, and a great afternoon tea with shortbread or cherry scones.

An instant favourite

Invokes a feeling, a distant memory perhaps, of a long and lazy stroll through the historic sections of Oxford or London in mid November. The sort of thing that encourages us to take it all in slowy...sip by sip, step by step. I get a hint of smoke with the malt, but it balances quite perfectly. I prefer a stronger brew, and, that said, it is still a smooth and pleasant experience. Lightly sweetened, a splash of cream, over ice (or not), this blend will definitely take you on a journey.

Malty black tea is a winner

I stumbled upon this tea vendor online by chance and ordered a bunch of samples about a month ago. At first I hated the tea and realized I was using too much. Also, this is a tea that grew on me the more I drank it. Of the seven tea samples I originally ordered, this was one of two standouts, though there are others I will buy again.

I love malt and I think that's the key component that's really working for me in this tea. I feel like the flavors are very well balanced and smooth and the description on the tea, really created a nice story to go with the tea. You have great tea and maybe even greater marketing. This is a lovely malty black tea that appeals more over time. It's uncommonly delicious tea.

I'm including my latest order "unpacking" and will be sharing several samples with a friend and fellow tea addict.

Our go-to.

We've probably tried 8-10 of the August Black Teas, and this is the one we re-order the most. Something about the caraway really works, and it's not on the "smokier" side which I know can be polarizing for some. Just balanced and great for mornings (and with oat or almond milk.)
