Wonderful wonderful tea from Terri! This is a good and smooth Assam, of just the right strength to my liking. It’s not an “in your face” CTC strength, it’s a quiet, power, “I am here” strength. Like a huge oak that’s grown in one spot for centuries and exudes power and permanence.
It’s a very smooth tea, that loves milk, but can be taken plain, if you don’t have an aversion to astringency.
I rushed to Butikis to buy some, only to see that it’s out of stock! Alas, alas, when will my troubles end…
Put this on my shopping list and keeping a hawk’s eye on Butikis site, waiting for a restock.

Yes, I’d like to think of Assam as a big solid oak, the analogy works really well for me :-)
Yay, I’m glad you like it! I think I have enough to drink it one more time, & then I will miss it.
Terri, thanks for the share! Do you know if they plan to restock anytime soon, or is it my lot in life to fall in love with out of stock teas? (Lao Cong Zi Ya, Piccadilly Blend, to name but a few)
NofarS-We just got in a shipment of Hattialli Golden Paw, which is very similar.
Yay!!!
Yay indeed! When will you stock it?
NofarS-Not quite sure when it will be prepped for the web (especially since I will be taking off for a few weeks soon) but if you are in need, we can certainly sell it to you by invoice.
