The Assam Tea Company

This is a good fruity tasting tea, strong in flavor, yet not overpowering.

Basic white tea, slight sweet taste, fresh and clean.

Nothing special about this Chai, it is okay, but does not stand out in anyway.

Refreshing, light, airy, just right…not overpowering, just basic and simply tea.

This is one of the many teas MissB sent me in our swap. Coconut anything appeals to me, so I was very eager to try it out. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bit of a let down. This tea features coconut and French vanilla as it’s primary flavors, and for whatever reason I can’t really detect either. Well, I can baaaaaarely taste the slightest bit of coconut. There’s also a sharp bite of astringency underneath as well (maybe I oversteeped?) I tend to be one who prefers the flavors in tea to be a little more pronounced. It’s difficult for me to enjoy beverages where the flavors are all muddled into a murky conglomeration of vagueness. I will try this tea again later perhaps, but for now I’m going to stick to what I know and trust.
