Assam Khongea FTGFOP-1 from Premium Steap

JacquelineM drank Assam Khongea FTGFOP-1 by Premium Steap

This used to be my favorite assam, but now that I’ve done some tasting around…I taste some bitterness, astringency and flatness that I didn’t notice before. SOMEbody is getting spoiled ;) I’m going to try to take maybe 30 seconds off the brewing time to see if it livens it up a bit.

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
