It has a lovely Assam aroma and a nice, dark color. The flavor is the typical round, full-bodied flavor of Assam, and just a bit dry (I think I will try four minutes steep time for the next cup). As expected, it goes very well with cream and sugar. This isn’t the best Assam I’ve had, but it does make for a decent cup.
I am a writer, musician, and aspiring tea aficionado. I have been enjoying tea and reading about tea for a little over a decade now. I am particularly interested in the role of tea in contemplative spirituality. Currently I am sampling my way through a variety of teas just to keep my palate fresh and knowledgeable. I do prefer certain teas, but I keep my mind open to new possibilities and enjoy finding fresh, new tea flavors to add to my list of favorites. I am hoping my participation here will help me gain new knowledge and new friends who share a passion for tea.
