Taste note numba 50! :D
Okay, I’m weird. I don’t taste what everyone else tastes, but what I taste, I love. So I guess that’s okay then. :)
Taiwanese Assam Upgrade version tastes like sitting in a log cabin in front of a roaring fire. It’s thick, and hearty, and especially goes great with a hot bowl of Red River cereal in the morning. What’s really strange though, is that for me this tea tastes really savory! It’s amazing how differently people interpret different tastes, but no matter when I have this, or regardless of if I have anything before it or not, that’s what I taste. I don’t know how else to describe it. I’ve had multiple cups of this now, and I can’t really tell you what it brings to mind other than the image I explained above.
Sadly, due to it being a AAA tea, it’s pretty expensive. Dx; Especially when you factor in how much leaf you use per cup. If I was as rich as the impression I’m giving a certain tea retailer by my multiple large orders this past month, I’d make sure to have this on hand at all times, but since I’m not and there are other teas I do ultimately like better, this’ll be a once in a while indulgence purchase. :)
(By the way, for Steepsterites outside of Canada, Red River cereal is a type of porridge, but it’s kind of seeds and grains rather than being composed of oats. It’s very hearty and delicious, and I feel for you that it seems to only be in Canada.)

Oh man, I love Red River. I currently only have cream of wheat in my cupboard, now I’m going to have to go to the store :P
I know, right!? It’s my favorite thing to have for breakfast. It tastes great plain, it tastes great with cinnamon, and it also tastes fabulous with some chunks of fresh apple plus cinnamon.
I have it almost everyday. So yummy x3 And it feels really old fashioned, which makes me love it more.
Color me jealous- I looked immediately to see if I could get this grainy goodness nearby and…nope. Well, at least I have grits to cry into.
Mmm, that Red River sounds yummy! Unfortunately I’m in America so I’ve never seen it in stores here. But I am a Californian so there’s a chance that I could find it.
I love cream of wheat though, it’s like my favorite breakfast thing ever; besides rice and mackerel.
I really want to try it though. Maybe they ship it online?
Oh man! I was so excited to go out searching for it again, but it’s based on wheat and rye, and I’m now gluten intolerant.
