Assam Tippy Golden

Company: Fortnum & Mason
 
Review: Okay, so in all fairness, this is actually, "Assam Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe". Tea classifications names have always been perplexing to say the least. Whatever the case and whatever the name, this has to be one of the best teas I've ever drank.
The nose of it isn't anything special, but the body is this incredibly smooth butter. Maybe this isn't the tea for everyone, but for me, it simple, la bomba.
Talking about it anymore would make me sound like an idiot, but let's just say that the 300+ years these folks have been blending tea have created one of the most perfect teas there is.
 
Pairings: I don't actually like it paired with too many things as it's great on its own. Maybe a mild scone, but beyond that, I can't recommend much else.
