557 Tasting Notes
Nice and Cold!
I can’t believe I haven’t tried this one. It is definitely a Cheapster Steepster tea. Like $5 for 100 bags. I used to enjoy their white peony. I see a box in my future.
Had this one this morning, with a little milk and sugar, i dont usualy do that but this one was good that way. I like this tea.
Preparation
it is realy awesome, dtrong and malty, milk and sugar do give it a creamy kinda spicey tatse, yummy i ordered some more already lol
i think i like the way it was made too, the ctc or (crush,torn,curled) i ordered a few more like that too so i can try them out.
Yeah, IMHO if you get a CTC Assam, it is a little maltier. My memory tells me I like the Tanzanian better.
This one is ok, i put a little sugar in it and it tasted honeylike, not bad.
I’ve found that with white teas (especially this variety) that I don’t like it when I follow the often cited low temp and short steeping times..I usually have to play around a bit with steeping parameters to really enjoy it.
