Assam SFTGFOP1 Mokalbari (Second Flush) from The Tea Haus

Assam SFTGFOP1 Mokalbari (Second Flush)

Black Tea by The Tea Haus

Our most popular Assam. Situated on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River, the Mokalbari is a regional superstar. Once you have tried this generous, burnt orange cup you will find it difficult to drink other Assams without a touch of nostalgia. Complex and haunting, with notes of burnt caramel, squash, almond butter and earthy tobacco. It’s a long way down from here. Preparation: 3 g tea leaves (1 heaping teaspoon) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 3 min.

Why would you brew this in gaiwan anyway? This is actually a nice, classic 2nd flush Assam. Malty, mildly sweet, mid body. Excellent when taken straight.

This tea breathes honey and canteloupe. I could take a little more sweetness and depth, but the astringency is airy and not overpowering.

This is getting brash and does not respond well to a Gaiwan style steeping.

This is starting to show some age, with a bit of a stale biscuit character up front. As well, the honeydew notes have subsided significantly.
