My first straight assam. I love this tea. It is what Lipton’s is pretending to be when it steals it’s manly uncle’s pipe and smoking jacket, practicing powerful, seductive looks for the ladies.
It is incredibly smooth and rich, and hints at milk chocolate at the back of the tongue. The aroma is much more chocolatey, but the taste doesn’t need it. A bit of malt lingers after the sip. Just slightly dry, too.
The second steep becomes less remarkable, more just a cup of tea. But wow, the magic of that first cup.
Great Lipton description :)
I loved your review! LOL!
Thanks! ;)
