Thank you to Wifey_Woman for sending me some of this tea!
I forgot to set the timer when I started steeping this tea (tomorrow my Breville is supposed to arrive, I await it anxiously!) so I don’t know how long I steeped it. Fortunately, I don’t think I over-steeped because it isn’t bitter.
It is very pleasant. Smooth, rich taste with a nice malty tone. A very good gold Assam.
PS: Wifey_Woman … I can smell the blueberry more than I can taste it!
\o/ Breville!!!! Mine arrived yesterday and I’m over the moon. I can’t wait for yours to arrive :)
P.S. Please imagine me doing a happy dance whilst typing the above message.
Thank goodness. That will teach me to let anyone but me clean anything tea related!
More than the actual cleaning (although that is important too) is to allow it to air out. I found that after storing especially fragrant teas, allowing the vessel to breathe adequately was the only way to rid it of the scent.
