Rare is the black Assam that does not profit from a bit of milk; skim
milk may not satisfy fat-seekers, but IMHOP it is the better

BTW I tried heating the milk up before adding it to the assam and it
tasted much better. It might be because I usually add a lot of milk and
if it's cold, it makes the tea lose too much temperature. I first tried
this yesterday with coffee, and it came out much better than usual, too.
Anyone else try this?

You mean coffee? No, what is that?

It's like a deep. dark brown. opaque tea brewed from beans. The beans are actually roasted to bring out flavors, not entirely unlike roasting tea. Some people who really care (or cared) about the quality of the drink brewed from this "coffee" actually roasted their own "beans." Curious, but true.
