This is one of the best single-estate Assam black teas I’ve had in quite some time. Dark, rich, malty, astringent, this tea checks all the boxes for me. Well done!
I'm impressed by how delicious all the teas I've sampled have been from Culinary Teas . Reviews said this tea was very strong so I did a dessert spoon full for a 20 ounce pot, 3 minute steep. It was perfect.
I've been drinking Assam Keyhung for over a decade. The full-bodied, malty base and caffeine kick are perfect for a morning start or a cozy evening pick-me-up. It's my go-to brew for chai and pairs beautifully with milk and sugar.
On an otherwise forgettable trip to Mississippi in 2002, we stopped at a small cafe and had the best iced tea we'd ever tasted. I asked the tea they used, and it was this. We drink it hot and cold. It is strong, so a little goes a long way. But rich, complex and delightful.
This tea is STRONG. Left to steep for anything longer than half a minute is almost enough to be called "builder's tea." I have to jump on it and remove the leaves almost as soon as the water goes in - but made that way, it's still a hearty cup, thick and dark brown, with a nice, strong tea scent. Very bracing - and if you could figure out the proper steeping time, would probably make a great iced tea.
