teepland drank CTC Assam by Harney & Sons

110 tasting notes

I had this tea again this morning. This time, I mixed a cup of the tea with a bit of 2% milk. I loved it! I think the milk seems to have taken some of the astringency away from it. I’m usually not a fan of milk in tea, but I am certain I’ll drink it again with this one.

The best part: the milk made it easier for me to handle the tea on an empty stomach. I apparently have developed a sensitive stomach over the years, so having a bold, black tea on an empty stomach usually causes me to feel ill. The milk today seems to have helped with that, so I could drink it when I first woke up and didn’t have to wait for breakfast. Score!

2025: It’s been awhile, but I hope to be back to regularly updating my tea log!

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in India and Sri Lanka. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I’d love to hear from you if your experiences differ from the notes in my tea log.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)
