A Christmas gift, this blend makes the finest cup of tea I have ever experienced.

This was a weird one for me. Just recently started pursuing Assams after getting into Irish Breakfast bags, so this is only my second loose Assam. The first smell is fantastic. I would say it’s like a mild honeysuckle mixed with biscuits. It’s why I bought the tea. The first 2 cups were boring to me–all I got was the simple “tea” taste. I must have heated the water hotter, because it took on new flavors in subsequent uses. The maltiness later became apparent–not just the bready/biscuity aspects, but the deeper maltiness that tastes like “malta” soda or non-alcoholic beer. Then I steeped it too long and got heavy raisin flavors, which put me off at first. Eventually I got used to that too and started doing a 4 minute steep with all the bready maltiness with the raisiny flavors mixed in and not bitter. Now I crave it. I dream about it. What a great journey. Looking forward to more Assams.
