Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.
This is a delicious CTC Assam. It is quite bold and invigorating, and it is helping me stay warm too! Nice malty taste to it. I only steeped this 2 minutes in my Breville, so there is no bitterness to it – not even a hint! – but I suspect it, like other Assam teas, would become bitter if it were over-steeped.
As it is though, it is a very comforting and deliciously rich cup. Just what I needed!
This is what I like to call – in my own personal lingo – pebble tea! :)
This is VERY strong, bold, DARK, and a little astringent. For once, I would say, I think this one would be better with additives, etc.
(As many of you know I drink everything plain)
Picked this up at Home Goods quite a while ago and I’ve been using it to concoct my own masala chai. I’m definitely homing in on what I think is a really good blend of spices with this as my tea base. It’s a nice, malty assam that stands up to the spices but doesn’t overpower them. I can boil it with the spices in my chai pot and it doesn’t get bitter at all. Very nice tea and it’s been so much fun to experiment with!
it is also the base for thier 500 mile chai….
