This second flush Assam comes from a single garden in Upper Assam, picked when the bushes throw the golden tips that give the tea its name.
The cup is malty and full, with caramel sweetness and enough body to take a little milk. It is made for a morning pot and a slice of toast.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
