Mixed Assam Estates tea
 

Mixed Assam Estates is an okay replacement for my Malawi (which was in
turn a good enough replacement for Assam.) At three minutes brewing
time, it's too bitter; I'll ease up for next time. It's malty in dry
and wet fragrance and hard to taste over the bitterness in the cup.

I've given this the same treatment I gave the Assam fannings- 60 to 80
seconds brewing time for the first cup and the rest of the morning for
the dregs cup. This makes the first cup toasty and roasty- a good
wake-up tea, The dregs cup has the bitterness, but I like that for
late morning. Toci
