Oost-Fries

The blend of Darjeeling, Ceylon, and Assam gives it a nice malty kick that stands up well to a splash of milk. I've been drinking it every afternoon this week and it brews strong without turning bitter.

Cold Sunday mornings are exactly why I bought this — it steeps up dark and malty with just enough bite from the Assam to wake me up. The Darjeeling keeps it from tasting flat, and a splash of milk rounds out the full body nicely. I'm already halfway through the tin.

Steeped this a solid four minutes and it came out properly dark and malty, exactly what I want on a wet morning. The Assam gives it enough backbone that a splash of milk doesn't wash it out. Only gripe is the Ceylon gets a bit lost in the mix, but for the price I'm not complaining.
