Went out for breakfast and had this with a delicious strawberry and pineapple waffle (shoutout to West Coast Waffles!)
The looseleaf was put into a tea bag, but it had some room in there. They served it in an adorable 200 mL teapot that looked like a miniature silver English-style pot. Steeped ~3 tsp in boiling water for 2.5-3 minutes, would try 2 minutes next time.
This is a strong breakfast assam, no fruity/floral notes, maybe a little bit of malt, but nothing really notable. Just a standard breakfast blend: bold, full bodied, oxidized, slightly tannic. It would be nice iced due to its potency, and it would take sweeteneer and fruit well.
Flavors: Tannic, Tea
Are you on the Island? I miss West Coast Waffles! Best ever.
Yup, I’m in Victoria. Their waffles are excellent!
I regret not having them more often while I was living there. So delicious.
