A proper morning kick, though quite a standard assam IMHO. Miss the maltiness of other assams I tried from Golden Tips.
This one is o.k. but I probably won’t buy this again.

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 200 OZ / 5914 ML

from golden tips Assam Enigma and Assam Mankota Exotic come to mind. They were excellent Assam teas – Rounder teas, maybe less bold, but sweeter. From a domestic vendor, I buy the Assam lattakookan TGFOP in bulk, it’s the least strong of the lot, but love, love the taste of that one. (there is a review on Lattakoojan from Butiki – I get mine from hotsoup in the Netherlands)
I guess tastes differ. Prefer mine bold, but not to the point that they become bitter when oversteeped. The Assams I prefer have a friendly, round, sweet taste, with just a tad of umpf.
