Thank you again to Stacy for adding this sample to my Butiki order! This one is great, as advertised. I’ve never tasted a fruity Assam before. It’s not overly fruity, but that characteristic is very apparent, along with the fact that it is not bitter at all, and a bit lighter than I expected. The Assam maltiness is there, but it’s not as dominant as for Indian Assams…Assam Assams, I guess (:P), and it mixes nicely with the fruitiness of the tea. Overall, a very enjoyable tea.

I’m a tea novice, and I’m loving my introduction to the World of Tea. I started getting into tea about 4 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. At first, I stayed with green teas, and took black teas completely for granted. However, in the last couple years I have enthusiastically added them to my daily routine. I love strong Assam black teas in the morning, and Japanese green teas in the afternoon, especially matcha and gyokuro. I have recently become a big fan of Keemuns. I’m looking forward to learning about new teas on this site and talking to other tea lovers!

As far as ratings go, don’t trust me. I’m a high rater, and I’m easily impressed. If I rate a tea lower than 70 (which is going to happen rarely, it seems), I probably will not drink that tea again. I will splurge for some teas at times, but I love a bargain, so you will often see me celebrating under-appreciated everyday teas.
