Ooo. Lots of honey. LOTS of honey. Some fruitiness, stone fruits mostly I think. Apricots and golden plums. Very rich, as well. Hints of pie crust. :)

I haven’t steeped this tea quite this way before, and I think I like it more now that I’ve used more leaf.

And yes, ANOTHER assam. I’ll probably pack up a resteep of this and some Tiger Assam to bring with me for this afternoon. Now to go finish getting ready!

Om nom nom nom LOVE Taiwanese blacks! :D

OMGsrsly

This is no where near as good as Butiki’s PTA! It’s not as rich or flavourful, and has more of that cardboard flavour so common in assams. Haha.

I dunno, PTA has never been my favorite just because I prefer the ones with strong honey notes (like her TWMB).

OMGsrsly

Isn’t the TWMB a leafhopper tea though? This one isn’t. The honey isn’t as strong as that. But it is a lot more present than the last 2 assams I’ve had this morning. :)

Cameron B.

Yeah, I believe it is. I was very pleased to find strong and yummy honey notes in the one TTC tea I’ve tried so far. :D
