Sipdown.

This tea is 7+ years old, and it’s still one of the best Assams I’ve ever had. It’s a wonderful breakfast tea, bold and full bodied. I’ll miss being able to make a big pot of this on a cold morning.

As for today’s cup, there were notes of plum and honey instead of the rich raisin I usually taste. Still enjoyable if a bit different. The notes of bread and malt are present throughout the sip. And no bitterness. None. The smoothness of this tea has been one of my favorite things about it.

Saying that Andrew and Dunham is still an active company (it looks like they are?), I might pick up more of this at some point. I’d like to try a few more Assam teas from other companies, but this will be the one I compare them to.
