NofarS drank Hattialli Golden Lion Assam by Butiki Teas

423 tasting notes

Sipdown! Thank you very much DigniTea for this sample – it was wonderful. I had the final sipdown side by side with Fortnum’s Dikom, and this tea is so much better. It’s maltier, sweeter, has more depth of flavour and is more smooth than F&M’s Dikom. Definitely a must buy from Butiki. Also, unlike Dikom, this tea takes milk well. I expect every good Assam to stand up to milk, for who else can, if not them? They are the boldest of teas, after all, are they not?
Bottom line: this lion is welcome to roar in my cup anytime, with milk or without.

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
