2 Tasting Notes
My weekender Assam; the treat I give myself for having survived the week. Sun-roasted honey and hay co-mingle with a light, Assam maltiness. Practically impossible to stew (but not completely outside the realm), it’s very forgiving in the teapot. (*NOTE: as always, I drink my teas straight, sans milk & sugar. Maybe sometimes I’ll have a biscuit with a cup; more often, not. YMMV with those things added; they’re outside the scope of my notes.)
Flavors: Flowers, Hay, Honey, Malt
Preparation
When I want to get hashtag #WOKE in the afternoons, this is one of my go-to teas. It really packs a wallop and makes itself felt in minutes. Tingly astringent, and easy to over-steep, so watch your weights and times, but done correctly and you’ll be rewarded with a naturally minty, citrusy, vegetal cup that will soothe the soul while simultaneously unleashing your inner beast.
