Organicizing My Tea II: Assam Organic
Yes…hold on to your tea cups…it is another Organic Needle organic tea review. (Don’t think I don’t realize there are probably a grand total of 3 people in the entire universe who give two squirts about a tea review…but for you, my fellow really geeky tea drinkers, I will give it my all.)
Now Assam, which is an Indian tea, is a new one for me. I tend to be a big leafer, a Darjeelinger if you will, but I must say I was impressed. The Tealuxe description said malty and, by gum, malty is just what it is. Very smooth, but strong…kinda like a good scotch, but yet socially acceptable to drink at the playground. (You politely offer a stranger tips to correct her baby’s unibrow and suddenly everyone gets to question your Sigg bottle contents. Like it was news. Geesh.) The tea, however, was quite enjoyable.

The only down side is that tiny leaves pass through the strainer. Now…time to tooooooot my own horn. Less, yes I said less, leaves passed through good ol’ Organic Needle Reusable Organic Cotton Tea Bag than did the strainer. You didn’t think I was possibly NOT going to plug my own stuff did ya? I may be classy enough to drink tea, but not THAT classy.

Just wanted to let you know that I’m one of your 3 tea-geek readers. I enjoyed the lesson about Assam.
I’m going to review your coffee filter soon. Did I mention I love them? That they are well stitched (no chance of fraying in the near future).
And I love my Assamese tea. Its the only real tea there is.
Ugh. Singular filter not plural.
I must be tea lover number 4 then – was brought up with a grandfather who was a professional tea taster. No sugar please
