I am crazy…it is almost midnight here and I am having an assam tea !
But I cannot resist ! I received this tea sample thanks to Nicole and I wanted to try it right now.
It’s a strong tea but smooth as well. It becomes really lighter on the aftertaste. Regarding the flavours and the tea base it makes me think to Wedding Impérial from Mariage Frères but without chocolate.
The tea base is an Assam as well BUT they are different the MF blend is really stronger, capricious on steeping – don’t forget it 15 seconds too long otherwise it’s bitter.
This Assam seems really much cooperative but I kept a low steeping time, by security :)
It is smoother and very very very much creamy.
Wedding Impérial is one of my staple teas, I think I will alternate with this one when I would like something lighter and creamier.
I really enjoyed it, bravo Stacy and thank you so much Nicole

I’m glad you liked it!!
I was pretty sure I would like it and I really do, yes :)
I only had a sample of this and it was really good, despite the fact that I completely forgot about it and steeped for 10 min! That’s the beauty of this base, Taiwanese Assam is very forgiving!
