Tonganagaon SFTGFOP1 2nd Flush from Rare Tea Republic

Amy oh drank Tonganagaon SFTGFOP1 2nd Flush by Rare Tea Republic

Tea of the morning!

I’m trying to figure out how you would pronounce “Tonganagaon?”

Regardless, this is a yummy assam, my very early morning tea before the blueberry matcha smoothie. Sorry for the brevity of this tasting note but I am off to the gym. Have a great day, all!

I would go with “Tahn-guh-nah-gun”. Maybe RTR could tell you for sure.

They have Two 2012 2nd Flush Assams en route, expected to be available on their site any day now.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
