Second day with Lattakoojan Assam. I use a Finum Tea Control .8

The finum lets me leave the leaves in but stops the steeping process by separating them from the liquid when I twist the top. Quite ingenius, actually. I’m not sure if it does the leaves any favors or harm for a second steep by putting pressure on them, but I try to do this gently.
Anyhow back to the tea. Again, cocoa bottom notes, some stone fruit, a bit more malt than I was aware of yesterday. The astringency lifts the cocoa off the bottom of the flavor profile a bit as the tea drops in temperature, which is nice, as I like a cup of tea that changes as I drink it….more interesting! All of my tasting notes from yesterday still stand….and I’m still happy drinking this Assam!
Flavors: Chocolate, Malt, Stonefruit
