So today I made this tea in my Finum .8 tea infuser pot. 2 healthy teaspoons…I have a tendency to use a bit more tea when the leaves are more in tact, because my Polish logic says that there’s more air in the measuring spoon if the leaves are in bigger pieces, so I need to use more tea…. who knows if I’m correct or not, but today’s teaspoons led me to a nice, low astringency cup of assam, with a nice malty taste and a bottom note of raisin and sweet potato. At least that’s what my mouth is telling me. I’m not getting the baked bread note that others have mentioned as much as the malt from this cup (well, 2 cups, but don’t tell my doctor) but that’s fine. This is a well balanced tea that doesn’t leave my tongue feeling all dried out after drinking it, which I love. Drank with rock sugar and 1% milk. Handled them well. So far, one of most refined Assams I’ve had….but I’ve only just begun!
Flavors: Malt, Raisins, Sweet Potatoes
Ohhh, baby. This sounds like a good ’un!
