donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Assam Calcutta Auction by Lupicia

184 tasting notes

This morning I woke up knowing that it was a straight assam day. Thursday. Sometime called Turdsday around here, because it ain’t Friday. This cup was made for today. A 2 minute steep gave me a strong cup with expected results…..a strong cup of assam. For some reason, this tea will give me a drinkable 2nd steep, which I took advantage of today to keep me awake in a droll meeting. No notes to report besides a nice background maltiness….just a basic assam for a strong cup of milk tea.

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.
