Haveteawilltravel drank Assam Doomni Special Second Flush by Curious Tea

526 tasting notes

I still needed some waking up, so I went for a bold tea. I havent had a good Assam in while, and this is a very good Assam! The leaves are small black and gold shards with small hairs. The aroma of the brewed leaves is alike a gold yunnan; it carries that baked bread and potato scent. The flavor is savory and delicious. The initial sip is of malt and dark maple wood. The aftertaste is a strong crystal sugar flavor. The vibrant crimson liquor carries a burnt sugar and bakery scent. This was delicious, and it was exactly what I needed to satisfy my tea craving.

Flavors: Bread, Burnt Sugar, Dark Wood, Pastries

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
