drank Pure Assam by Taylors of Harrogate
2985 tasting notes

After months of drought, a summer’s worth of noisy storms and rain hit about bedtime last night, so I broke out the big guns this morning to propel myself out the door. This is really strong for a bagged tea, and maybe a little astringent for an Assam. (I haven’t steeped it enough times to land on what I consider perfect steeping parameters.) All the same, with milk, it’s doing its job.

I steep this 5 minutes or less. Two bags for a 16oz go cup work well for a strong wake you up brew.

It is definitely effective in that regard! This morning it was four minutes on the timer, plus an unmeasured amount of “hang on a confounded minute, my hands are busy with something else and I can’t get to you!”
