Maybe you should just get your hands on a good Assam whole leaf tea, brew it not too long, and see for yourself? /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |

Hmmm, what's that? Icecream shop? never seen one. LOL or a
vanilla malted. Malted milk balls and ovaltine are all the experience I've ever had with malted anything. I'll try getting some tea, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I might get bad assam and never know it. LOL Kitty |

Good Assam is rich with just a hint of bitterness (3 minutes brewing max). It's like cheap milk chocolate and 85% cocoa chocolate. JB |

Ovaltine is a malty kind of flavour. Imagine that flavour without the sweetness, and that's what it is. >I'll try getting some tea, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I >might get bad assam and never know it. LOL So get more than one kind. The stuff that comes $5/lb. and is sold as "kalami" tea in Indian and middle eastern markets is probably a good start. I've never had any that was amazingly wonderful, but I have never had any that wasn't pleasant and enjoyable. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Ok, I Might be able to form an opinion on this "malty" tea thing now.
But only based on one trial. I bought a packet of "Scottish Hightland" tea which is discribed as "malty" and I don't particularly care for it. The taste to me was woody and while I like wood, I don't really want to drink it or eat it. I like the smell of it only. LOL I will try a few more Malty teas before I give up, but it isn't looking good at this point. Kitty |
