I spent so many years avoiding Assam because of bad experiences with poor quality grocery store teas. I still brace myself and flinch with the first sip. Even though I know better I am still amazed every time I find myself enjoying the whole cup. This one smells delicately of malt and grain when dry. The leaf is much more robust after steeping. The mug is brisk and has a good astringent bite but to me that is how a morning cup should behave. Will stand up to milk but doesn’t need it. Not as malty as expected, it is more of a fruity woodsy taste. I found myself enjoying the whole cup. Still amazed.
