donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Dinjoye Estate Assam by Butiki Teas

184 tasting notes

Being that I “fubar”-ed the steeping of this tea twice before, I finally put my thinking cap on when steeping today… .8 finum, 3 min 30 seconds, 2 rounded teaspoons of leaves…. it’s wonderful. Bottom notes of walnuts, malt and raisins…top note of baking bread…and best of all, not much astringency to upset my tummy. This will be a standard in my cup. Lovely.

Flavors: Bread, Malt, Nuts, Raisins

Preparation

Boiling 3 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
