I thoughly enjoyed my morning cup. And today this was my choice. I have a dizzying array of samples to choose from and for some reason this one was selected.
I noticed the small leaf and I knew to keep a close eye to avoid oversteeping. I settled in on an approximately 4 minute steep. I was greeted by a dark red brew that was delicious. It was smooth and clean and a perfect tea for my morning. It was awakening. I did not notice any dominant or subtle flavors yet there is this balance, a ying and yang that seemed to be in harmony.
When all is said and done with my black tea samples I would have to guess that China is the clear winner of tea producing countries.
Upton is great for trying out lots of samples!
Yes Amy. And sampling I am. I will probably do an Assam Monday morning…
