2062 tasting notes

It’s was 5th December when I just wrote about plain Assam tea, especially bagged. Okay, this is a little exception as… it is loose leaf; but interesting that it was chosen to Advent Calendar, especially when so many teas were festive and/or at least blended.

So, seeing again a plain tea, made me somehow sad — not giving holidays mood, but on the other hand, plain tea can be delightful as well.

And this one is! Very strong and robust, not so much malt, a little earthy, a little woody and tannic and great wake-me-up cup (even in the afternoon). Surprisingly I don’t notice the dates like a few days ago from bagged Assam from Sonnentor.

But both were flavourful and it seems it is this year harvest, because it wasn’’t flat at all. Good experience from both companies!

PS: I haven’t wrote in yesterday notes (because I was tired and I forgot), that I have passed that DGSA exam I was writing about many times. So, now I am Mr. Hazmat how mrmopar (I think so) called me one day!

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
