I got home from a very long drive to some tea mail, yay! The first steep is deep caramel, almost molasses, with a charcoal undertone, like a big red robe. The second steep has minerality with a toffee finish. Third steep is still tasty, but is a weaker version of the first two steeps. What a tasty Assam with such big leaves! Thanks tea-sipper!
Flavors: Caramel, Charcoal, Mineral, Toffee
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
