I did a taste test today with three assam teas from SpecialTeas. This was the close runner up of the three assams. I like a malty caramel flavored assam and this one is a good one. It’s also a nice smooth medium strength flavored assam but has a little more bitterness in the aftertaste, which the first-place winner didn’t. This was even with a 2 minute steep. I added no dairy products so just the sugar for sweetner.
Assam Malty FBOP
Are you looking for a full-bodied malty Assam with lots of flavor? This is your tea. Its broken leaves infuse to a dark, hearty liquor with a pronounced malty flavor. Add just a touch of milk to bring out a slight honey note. A wonderful, satisfying Assam.
