snielson222 drank Assam Second Flush by Vahdam

16 tasting notes

I usually opt for Chinese tea for my long hot tea sessions, but often crave a good Indian assam for breakfast. This tea is the best quality assam I have had for the price, I would choose the exotic assam or Halmari over this, but they are three times as expensive. I make iced tea out of this everyday and i have to say it’s awesome! Sweet, malty, with very little astringency or tannins. A very high grade tea for the price.

Flavors: Malt, Sweet

Bio

I am a trained Cicerone (Beer sommelier) attempting to transfer my palette and skills to the tea world.

I have been enjoying tea for well over a decade, and more recently have come across my true passion for tea. I love learning about the culture, history, production, cultivation, and most importantly enjoyment of the beverage itself.

My favorite tea is black followed by sheng then oolong so far.

So far my favorite terroir is Jingmai with Yiwu a close second.
