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. Toci |

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. stePH -- Today's waste is tomorrow's overtime. |

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 ...

![]() 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 ![]() In article .com>, "Space Cowboy" > wrote: > I don't remember Java tasting like Assam.
