Assam Estate CTC BOP

I've been drinking this with a splash of milk every morning and it's exactly the strong, malty kick I wanted. The broken leaves steep fast, so I get a full dark cup in about three minutes flat.

This is the first loose leaf tea I've bought that actually stands up to lemon without turning bitter. The CTC cut gives it that deep, malty Assam strength I've been chasing, and half a teaspoon is plenty for a proper dark cup.

This is my second bag and the CTC cut makes all the difference—it brews up dark and strong in minutes, exactly what I need with a splash of milk first thing.
