A rich Assam black tea that you will want to drink everyday.
Estate: Mokabari East
Region: Assam, India
Class: TGFOP
Flush: 2nd Flush 2013
Our Category: Special Assam
Why we selected this tea: This tea is the surprise package of 2013′s Assam harvests. Rich and full flavored, and everyday tea that suits milk / no milk, sugar / no sugar. If you have to make a huge pot of tea for a group of ten with differing preferences, there are few safer teas than this. Robust enough to be a morning heartstarter, classy enough to suit an elegant afternoon tea. We love it!
Making a pot (start with our method and adjust to suit your taste): 1 teaspoon of tea per 125ml of water. Use boiling water and steep for three minutes.

Welcome to day 13 of little terri’s Sipdown Extravaganza!
Yesterday I had a bit of a setback & only managed 1 sipdown, & to be honest, I’m not sure how many I’ll get in today & tomorrow, as I have Valentine gigs both evenings, but I’ll try to get in a few. I’m 19 sipdowns away from my goal of 100, & I’d really like to reach that goal, but I don’t want to rush through the teas to get there. Savor the moment, right? :)
I’m also still recuperating from a chemical sensitivity reaction. The headache has dwindled to a manageable level, but my hips are out of place & all of my joints hurt. It won’t be fun to move my harp today, although playing it shouldn’t be a problem.
So (sorry to be a whiner), I’ve enjoyed this tea, with it’s bold & rich maltiness. It is sipdown #81, & one of the only black teas left that were in a small enough quantity to polish off! The only other ones I have left are Keemun 1 & Keemun 2 samples from Teavivre, but I kind of want to save them for a comparison with all the other Keemuns in my collection. So this may be my only pot of black tea today. For that reason, I’m taking the time to really savor it, & it is good!
Another one from terri! I think i’ve figured out how to get at least 1 of the three sipdowns i’m trying to do done every day and that’s by trying a new black tea every day as part of my rotation. Since keychange sent my her old timolino that means i still have 2 teas i’m guaranteed to enjoy in my travel mugs lol.
This one is one that i would be willing to pick up again if i needed to get to a certain price threshold for an order of something. it’s malty and bold but not bitter. I quite enjoyed having it in my mug this morning!
I hope you feel better soon!
More tea may help. Flush those chemicals away. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks guys :)
