African Brown
I tasted this last night. In my opinion it was on the tart side and a bit "salty." You could definitely taste the acid. My husband likes tart and ate the tomato seasoned with just a little pepper.
I myself like sweeter s, but this still beats the pants off anything in the grocery store.

Re: African Brown
I hope the unique color is coming across. They are instantly recognizable when grouped with other dark tomatoes.

Re: African Brown
Pretty sure it's the light...
I'll see how many seeds I have left, and perhaps I can get some to you in Australia. But you'll have to tell me how, LOL.

Re: African Brown
Whwoz and MissS... got your Pls.
It does have olive green shoulders which lessen as the tomato ripens, but in my fruit, at least, the skin is faintly streaked with the dark olive green.
