Seriously!!! this tea was so good at one point. What happened? you poor little assam, did some horse trample your delicate leaves and trail it’s waste all through your fields??
I gave this one last chance… loaded it up with agave and milk… and even then it was just “ok”.
Lowering the rating here pains me, but it must be done. So… Why do I feel like a parent scolding her children? and why do I feel so guilty for it?
Because I’m so dissapointed by the lack of depth, maltiness, and general dusty flavour, when I know it has such potential? or maybe because the DT version is loads better?
Gah! I’m done with you Assam Banaspaty. You may be drinkable, but not in comparison to so many other teas.

Yikes that bad? I am sorry to hear that.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t been so good at one point, but nothing can be good all the time I suppose. I’ll try this again next year when the new batches are in :)
fingers crossed!
hehe yes!!
or I could simply go to teaopia’s competition :P
I know there was an Assam that Bliss rated once as nearly perfect, and months later tried it again and it was awful. Maybe it is a peculiarity of Assams.
oooOOooo?? that IS odd. I’ve noticed that with other black teas but not so drastic.
