This is the first time I’m trying this. I steeped it for just over 2 minutes with water just off the boil. I’m drinking it black/unsweetened and quite like it so far. It’s pretty astringent, which I find pleasant and invigorating. I can’t help but think that I’m also detecting some sweet, floral notes. Maybe at some point I’ll try it with some soy, but right now I don’t feel the need to.
Assam Harmutty GFBOP (S)
Slightly fuller bodied than the No. 217 Bargang, this Harmutty is a solid broken-leaf Assam at an exceptional price. While it is complex enough to be a good self-standing tea, the addition of a splash of milk brings out a subtle honey flavor.
