Another add on to my Millerton Shop order…..I was intrigued by the honey flavoring in Tower of London (yes, I got a half pound of it!), so I thought I had better try this one.
The smell of honey is wonderful in the dry tea…..but I am sure I was not quite prepared for the light bite of the Assam in the tea base. It is a good tea, but I am thinking it needs to be a morning tea for me, or maybe iced. The Assam is not overpowering, but I can definitely taste it. It did mellow significantly with the second brewing, and I rather enjoyed that cup. I am currently thinking this is not a repurchase for me, as I tend to lean more toward smoother teas, and there are so many options. I will play around a little with steep times and see if that makes a difference.

I am envious, I want to go to the Millerton shop… :)
I want to go there, too. (And I could if I could convince the hubster to drive 45 minutes out of our way on a long trip to Boston…but he’d rather pay for shipping!) I just emailed them an order, we settled up with a CC by phone, and they shipped it. [email protected] I imagine you could call, too.
I was confused…oops. Must be the heat down here.
I will do that. Insider trading like? :)
It was funny how it all came about. I was emailing through the website asking questions about what was availble loose at the shop, because I did want to stop on our Boston trip. They forwarded my message to the shop, and the shop said they could also ship. $4.50 for up to $25, $5.50 for up to $50, $6.50 for up to $125 and free after that. It is cool because their ounce price is based on the lb price on the website.
This will change things for me too, makes it much more cost effective.
