Getting close to half way through this tin and still haven’t written notes.

I find this a bit harsher than I like. A bit astringent and maybe something else? Hard to describe. Its not bad necessarily. I’ll likely finish it, but its not something I actually enjoy.

Astringency gets harsher as it cools.

Another that might work well with add-ins if you are an add-in type of person.

I don’t drink much Assam but I bought this to share with a friend who loves it. I don’t add milk and sugar to my tea usually. I found that if I used a lower temp and shorter time, this one was pretty nice, and my friend who loves brosk and malty tea liked it and didn’t find it too strong for her. Not a repurchase for me and if I remember correctly, I gave the rest to her.

Due to Steepster instability, I have moved to my own system for logging/rating/tracking and I have chosen to move to a 10pt rating system. (As of 7/2023)

All new teas will be rated using this new system. Existing teas will not be modified unless I try them again.

Rating Details:
100 – Amazing
90 – Excellent
80 – Enjoyable
70 – If I’m in the right mood
60 – Nothing Special
50 – Interesting elements, but doesn’t work as a whole
40 – Disappointing
30 – Not for me
20 – Harsh/Bad
10 – Absolutely horrible

All reviews are purely subjective based upon my personal preferences alone.
