So I have to admit, I can’t help but compare this to Premium Taiwanese Assam from Whispering Pines. They have too much similarity. However, this just doesn’t really measure up. Don’t get me wrong, its not bad at all, but it is lacking is comparison.
Dry leaf smell really reminds me of buttered bread. The scent of the wet leaf almost gives me the impression of burnt sugar. That’s not a great description, but its the best I can come up with right now. Its like its something I know, but I just can’t make the correct connection.
As for flavor its not bad. There’s a little dryness or astringency, but is slight and really only noticeable as it cools. There’s a little sweetness, mostly in the back of the sip and aftertaste.
I’m really struggling to describe the flavor. Its like I can feel there is something it reminds me of but I am struggling to make that connection.
Will have to try again soon and see if it comes to me another day. Maybe I am just trying too hard today.
Resteeps pretty well. By the fifth steep however, the dryness stands out a lot more than it did the first three.
