Assam Orthodox SFTGFOP

Vendor: Natureal Tea
2nd Flush 2009 from single estate in Upper Assam

An 8 Oz package was sent to me by Natureal Tea last year. Hadn't gotten a chance to try it until today, partly because I don't drink black tea as often as I used to do. For today brew, I used a 100 ml gaiwan instead of a regular western-style pot. As I am not a big fan of a strong tea, I steeped the leaf less than 1 minute, a lot shorter than the brewing time suggested by the vendor. 



I loved the color of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by the malty taste. It was smooth-tasting liquor and had good body. Delicious.
