Mmmmmm…this has a heady chocolate assam aroma.
plain – would steep for 3 mins if having plain, astringency present but much less than anticipated, similar levels to Darjeeling. Very light floral undertone. Malty.
w/ sugar – astringency enhanced by sugar. prefer without
w milk – astringency still present, creamy malty deliciousness.
with milk and sugar – still good, but prefer without sugar.
My sample is gone, otherwise I would retry at 3 minutes.

Cheers Fjellrev! Has been a busy (and very warm, poor tea weather here in NZ) year. Hope your year has been good :)
