Java tea
 

Java tea is a perfectly good Assam-like tea, very cheap. I was a bit
disappointed that it had no volcanic taste from the spent lava it was
grown in. It amuses me to have my java be tea and not coffee, but when
I'm through with my 50 cups, I'm going to move on to the Assam estates.

The only *good* bottled tea that I've ever had is Tejava, which
purports to be made with Javanese tea. It's unsweetened and
unflavored, which probably has a lot to do with why it's the only
*good* bottled tea I've found. Don't even talk to me about Arizona or
Snapple.

I don't remember Java tasting like Assam. I remember it mild with no
astringency. My local tea shoppe carries it off and on and it's not
cheap but what is? It's good but not worth the cost of hoarding but if
I could find it cheaper ...

Arizona and Snapple? They aren't tea, they're tea flavored soda..

The less said about those shitawful beverages, the better.

Even Lipton's unsweetened, unflavored tea is absolute crap when tasted
side-by-side with Tejava.

Java tea
 

I often drink Indonesian (especially Java high grown) teas and I think
they differ significantly from Assam. They're much milder and less
tannic, I agree, and often quite fragrant with a very smooth mouth feel.
You need to steep it a bit longer than Assam too; I usually give it a
full 6 minutes. The high grown Sperata Estate from Upton was both
unique and excellent but I think they are out of it now and I'm running
low :( They have others though.

Upton, their cheapest. The Java plants come from Assam. Toci
