I’m not sure about this tea. The dry leaf sure is pretty. The liquor sure is beautiful. The aroma is outstanding.
The tea itself…it’s a tad too astringent for me.
It’s kinda bready, but not sweet at all. And now my mouth feels funny.
This is You :-D

Still relatively new to drinking teas, or so I feel, even though I’ve been at it for several months now.
I’m drinking more and more of different varieties of tea.
It’s been a few months that I’ve been on here. I’ve expanded from greens and flavored teas to now I’m all about the oolongs and some unflavored blacks. I’m mostly drinking unflavored teas now, but there are a few of those flavored ones that have a special place in my heart.
Pu-erh is also something I’ve recently found that I enjoy.
I have four kitties and a spouse.

If it’s too astringent, try steeping a bit shorter time…. 3 min 30 seconds is sometimes good for the more astringent assams.
I think I only did a 3 minute infusion as it was…. Ah well.
musta been potent!! that’s a “hair on your chest” kinda assam!
