But this is for 2018, 2nd Flush version (a sample):
Western, 3 grams per 350 ml, 4+ minutes
I had no idea which tea to make this afternoon, so I picked up a sample I have received with last order. It smelled wonderful, full-bodied black tea. After 4 minutes and something I have removed the strainer. The colour of infusion was wonderful clear and golden. In aroma it was still nice, black tea. But in taste it was massively malt. I don´t mind it and expect it in black teas. But this was bit overpowering all other tastes so I haven´t enjoyed it as much as few other Assam teas I had. A little, almost imperceptible there were fruit notes.
So, as for strong and bitter tea it´s certainly good one. But it wasn´t so awesome for me today.
Flavors: Bitter, Malt
