Assam Boisahabi Malty Second Flush Tea by TeaGschwendner

Assam Boisahabi Malty Second Flush

Don’t let the small leaves fool you! This coppery red and biscuity Assam is rich with all the right notes of toffee and earthy tobacco. Possessing the perfect bite of astringency at the finish, this strong black tea calls out for a touch of cream and sugar.

Preparation: One heaping teaspoon per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 5 minutes.

Little Yellow Teapot

My humans got this tea when they visited the TeaGschwendner store (now Tin Roof Teas) in Raleigh, NC. They did a pretty thorough review, since Assams are their faves: http://is.gd/fn85Y

My brother left a bag of this here at the house last week while visiting. He somehow ended up with it, and didn’t like it much, I guess.

This produces an amazingly black cup of tea. I actually broke down, broke my rule of thumb, and put some dairy in this just because it is so strong and has so much bite.

If you like really classic, strong black tea, this is the way to go.

While he was visiting, I boiled some of it in milk with chai spices and it makes AMAZING chai.

This is a favorite of mine to drink in the morning with toast. It has a nice grassy note with and earthy flavor and sweetness of carmel. Great tea for the price.
