G – Assam green is not for me! I tried to play nice but got insulted instead.

Thank you for confirming it isn’t just my incompetence!

Y’all crack me up!

Also, I had never heard of Let Me Borrow That Top. Googled, informed, but still slightly confused.

Amazing what happens when you actually read the label! This is an Assam green tea! No wonder I was mystified at the scorched-flowers scent and taste in the first mangled cup!

More properly prepared, it has drastically improved. Beautiful champagne color; still a scent that reminds me of lilac. Assam greens have always been very finicky for me—the perfection zone is so skinny that half a degree or three seconds too much pushes it over the edge. I’ve still just about fallen off the cliff here—still a little bitterness on my tongue—but now that I know what I’m working with, I will continue to practice restraint until I get the hang of it.

What a strange sensation to find green tea in your cup when you are expecting malty Assam. My brain would rebel a bit.

I keep calling it “perpetually distracted,” but I think I’m getting senile :)
