Doomur Dulling Estate- Assam Black Tea SFTGFOP from Tealish

Doomur Dulling Estate- Assam Black Tea SFTGFOP

Black Tea by Tealish

Considered one of the jewels of the Assam region, the Doomur Dullung Estate has been producing top quality teas since the 1840’s. A beautiful STGFOP leaf with ample golden tips, the aromatic infusion brews up a rich cup full of sweet, malty notes.
Assam black tea is one of the boldest black teas from India. The bold body of Assam teas makes them ideally suited for a splash of milk, however many are enjoyed clear as well.

I don’t quite know what to think of this. It was good, but how good? I can’t decide!
Malty? check. Bold? check. Sweet? check! Astringent… no too much!
Wait a sec… sweet?! I added no sugar. How can that be? It tasted as if I added sugar! Honey even. and more than I’d normally take. In fact, my second cup was sans dairy and it was still rich in flavour. (well, if you consider the little bit of left over milk from my first infusion mixed in as naked that is)
I need to try this again. I’m a little perplexed!!

What a LONG day. but a good one. I’m now the Member Services coordinator (director? still finalizing things) for the Tea Guild! So excited!!!! happy dance
We are having an event on Feb 2, The Toronto Tea Festival, so everyone who is local to the area, please mark it in your calendars!
Oh and I won the door prize at our meeting, a collection of yummy looking jams. Sweeeeet!
Anyhow, this was my breakfast tea. I always forget to steep it a bit longer, but this time I remembered, and it was good! oh yes it was.
Later on, I stepped into Herbal Infusions, and bought a cuppa Jackfrui Tea but used almond milk, and it was very tasty, but I think I need to try it sans anything before submitting a review.
Welps, I have another big one ahead of me tomorrow so should grab some sleep. EEeeeeeeee! How am I gonna sleep when I’m still buzzed from my appointment to the BOD?!
I’m on TWO boards now. Oh dear. What have I done?! errrrr…

My breakfast tea. Good enough to wake me up! light and floral. A little malty. Only about five cups left…

SIPDOWN!!!
A big achievement for me, since this was a 50g purchase. Woohoo!!
and despite there being a bunch of fannings/broken pieces/dust, it was really tasty. What a great way to see off a tea. Thanks for the good times Doomur. You shall be missed. Kicking up the rating a few notches. Rose coloured lenses and all…

Odd, the honey note came out more in my second steep here. Hmmm.
So I’ve decided… this is a lovely Assam, but not my fave for the moment. I’ll drink down what I have, easily, but will be glad to move on when the time comes!

Hmm. I had this (http://marsh.ly/UUARXS) — not 100% sure it is the same thing — and while I found it quite tasty, I’m not sure I detected any sweetness.

That said, I’m about 2 weeks into drinking my tea without sugar after having always used tons of it.
