Well, hello there…crawling out from under my rock to catch up on your December blizzard of tasting notes! While you were sipping, I was sniffling and sneezing and snarfing—my turn to catch the non-lethal Christmas Cruds going around in these parts.
After finally breaking down and begging Teladoc for some antibiotic, this afternoon I felt up to tasting something that wasn’t Gatorade or a Popsicle, but as my taste buds aren’t quite up to par yet, I used the last of this sample (double the leaf) to make a strong, medicinal cup.
I complained in an earlier review that this Assam was toasty, but too mild. Now I know it’s just a ratio thing—stronger is better. Good, grainy rye bread flavor that I could detect even with my impaired palate.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend!
Thank you! There are only so many consecutive days of moaning and bellyaching I can unload on family and coworkers…I think I hit their limit by Friday ;)
Glad you are feeling better!
Glad you’re feeling more human!
