Metropolitan Tea Company - Organic Tanzania Estate Tea 

Tanzania is a relatively small producer of tea in world terms. The teas produced are somewhat similar to Kenyan teas in that they have malty tending fruity/flavory characteristics. The production is primarily CTC (cut, torn and curled), which produces a fuller bodied tea but a non-traditional (from a specialty tea perspective) visual appearance. This tea is produced in northern Tanzania close to the Kenyan border and not far from a wild life area called The Ngorongo Crater. The soil conditions and altitude (5500-7500 ft. above sea level) combine to give the tea the flavor notes. It's an interesting and flavorful tea, which is perfect for afternoon  or early morning 'cuppas'.
