Detailed Description
Located in the northwest area of Rwanda, the black, medium-twisted leaves brew to an amber cup with an earthy aroma. If you're looking for a tea that is strong, brisk, full bodied, and has a slight astringency, then your search has ended.

Brewing: Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Good everyday tea 7/18/2019
This is an affordable everyday tea with some acidity and astringency, perhaps like a weaker Assam without the maltiness, maybe with a hint of fruit (plum?). Like I said, it is an inexpensive option of lower grade leaves, so expectations have to be tempered, but for that it is a very decent tea.

Great everyday cup 8/20/2018
Rwanda Rukeri is one of my favorite non-flavored everyday teas. If I could compare it to anything I'd say it's slightly reminiscent of Assam. S&V's is a somewhat milder batch than what i've had in the past. Overall it's a great tea that I think more should pick up and try!

Rwanda OPA Rukeri 8/4/2016
Beautifully black leaves. The astringency is noticeable, the flavor perfectly good if not pronounced; my main impression, though, is that it imparts real strength, mellowness, and relaxation. Fine qualities, which make me decide that this a quietly excellent tea.
