 | "Fairly run-of-the-mill as far as Indian black teas go... certainly drinkable but nothing to set it apart from a thousand other blends."

RadioactiviTEA is a special breakfast blend from your favorite 80’s based tea bar, Zoomdweebie’s. They describe this tea as:
“Malty and strong, Get your Caffeine on! RadioactiviTEA is a strongly caffeinated blend of robust CTC and BOP Indian teas. It is the perfect pick-me-up and it’s great hot or iced, with or without cream and sugar”
The first thing that comes to mind is that it would be nice to know exactly where in India the teas that make up this blend come from. You can tell that the tea is obviously CTC and BOP tea and nothing like full leaf tea, but this adds to the whole effect of it being a “strongly caffeinated blend” as it brings to mind the way instant coffee looks. The tea itself comes out to a nice dark orange/red color. The taste of Indian tea is very apparent in this tea. I’m almost sure there is a Darjeeling and as Assam in there, again it would be nice to know the exact teas in there but that’s what I taste. It is malty, but nothing that hits you quite as strong as the description implies. I got two good steeps out of the leaves using a teaspoon per 6 oz. of water, although if you left it go longer and went with a single long steep I’m sure you’d end up with a strong brew. This tea is nothing special but quite far from being a bad tea by any means. This would be great anytime tea, not just for breakfast.
