Nutty and versatile, sesame is a popular ingredient worldwide. Toasting adds a depth and intensity to an already tasty seed. Combined the flavor with Ceylon black tea and you get a truly unique blend.

"This definitely tastes like sesame seeds. Slightly over-toasted, in a good way. It's not what I normally think of as a tea flavor, but I'm not a tea expert and I suspect there are some fancy japanese teas that taste kind of like this one. I like blending this with things, and I like it by itself with intensely-flavored meat-based meals. Goes great with garlicky things!"

"I thought this tea might be interesting to try, given the smokiness of the toasted sesame seeds. Upon first brewing it was rather bitter, and I enjoyed the taste more of the second up."

"I didn't know what to expect from this tea. I tried it today and it was pretty good. I had it with cream and sugar and found that the sesame taste was very light. I recommend it."

"This just wasn't the flavor I thought it would be. The smell was like soy sauce which I thought was really strange. The taste was not very strong but I guess maybe I just don't like the savory teas. I thought it would taste nutty but it didn't. "

"The Toasted Sesame is a very plain tea with no Sesame taste. When I open the tin you can enjoy the rich smells, but then the tea is a disapointment. It's makes a nice cup of black tea, but no sesame taste."
