Assam Banaspaty

I tried this on my way to work this morning. It was good! very much like the Budla only stronger… a tad bitter, maltier, and bolder however I don’t get nearly as much “marshmallow”.
Oh and it didn’t set my jitters off this time, which I thought was odd since I’d eaten a tiny breakfast so I’m wondering if there is less caffeine in this brew? I know that bolder coffees are roasted more, and thus have less of the stimulant in them, so perhaps tea follows the same principle. Who knows? (someone reading this, I am sure haha)
Anyhow, I’m not sure which I prefer between this and Budla. I’d like to try the DT counterpart to compare before really passing any judgment on it.

Organic Assam Banaspathy FOP
Dry Aroma: toasted, sweet, dark fruit/dried currants
Wet Aroma: sweet orange zest and slight tannic notes
Cup: smooth, clean mild body, sweet finish with lingering slightly bittersweet chocolate/malt aftertaste.
brewed method: traditional cupping set – 2 grams (1 rounded tsp) per 6oz in 200 degree water for 2-3 minutes.
good example of second flush, full leaf Assam. Would make a great base for an Irish breakfast or a simple cold brewed iced tea.

Drunk plain, this tea has a tartness that is not wholly unpleasant, but it is somewhat short on flavour and long on caffeine. I have tried two 2-minute steepings, but the second one is disappointingly watery, so I have settled on one 3-minute steeping to be drunk with milk.
