Tea Forté offers premium packaged teas.  Check out their signature tea infuser.  The elongated pyramid shape reveals its full leaf tea & quality herbs, and it adds style and character to what traditionally is very dull and forgettable. If you like premium teas served in a pyramid tea infuser, Tea Forté takes the concept to another level.  I have to say, the string with the tea leaf is a quality touch.  I have a lot of Tea Forté teas to drink, so I’m going to double-up some reviews. I picked two black teas to start.

Decaf Breakfast: If you cannot drink caffeine or you are cutting down your intake, here is a quality option for you.  Through the pyramid infuser you can see the full leaf Ceylon.  As the tea steeps, the leaves expand to fill the pyramid tea infuser. The Ceylon has a traditional black tea flavor and aroma to it.  After a few sips, I lost interest.  I apologize, I just can’t drink decaf tea and enjoy it.  It did have a slight bitter aftertaste that I could do without.  With a little milk and sugar, it was enjoyable.  Compared to other decaf black teas, this was actually one of the better ones.

Black Currant (contains caffeine): With its naturally sweet berry aroma and flavor, this black currant option was satisfying. After patiently waiting just over 3 minutes for the tea to steep, the first sip was very refreshing.  The packaging states that the tea contains: Chinese black tea and blackberry leaves from Bulgaria.  The tea was balanced and flavorful throughout the cup.  I could taste the black tea, and the black currant was not overpowering.
