Cold, wet, and dreary, Germany's North Sea coast (East Frisia) is the ideal spot to drink hot tea. And the East Frisians do! They consume more black tea than anyone else in the world.

Aroma: The aroma is muted with hints of malt, and citrus. Caffeine Level: Caffeinated Body: This is on of the most full bodied tea that we offer. The East Frisians like to thicken it by adding cream. Flavors: The East Frisians use the muted tea flavors as a canvas for the cream and rock sugar that they add. Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes Brewing Temperature: 212° F
