Assam, Rembeng Estate, CTCBOP a dark, black, strong,
blow-your-head-off-in-the-morning tea. Nilgiri, Dunsindale Estate,
flowery, nutty. Tai Mu Long Zu in little unfurling balls. Sencha
which starts tasting more asperagusy than grassy. The last two can do
an easy three steepings, fading to a sweet flower finish. A Ceylon
Earl Grey which I don't like but an occasional pot sharer does.
