Black Assam and English Breakfast side-by-side

I got and ounce each of Assam and English Breakfast from a new herb store in town, Phoenix Herbs. No further info on either was given. Each had been in a large glass jar, most of which had been already sold. I put a half teaspoon of each in a cup, and filled the cup with four ounces of boiling water, and steeped for five minutes. The Assam was a beautiful red brown and had a flowery aroma, both from the leaf and from the brewed tea. The English Breakfast was a deep yellow brown and was very faintly smokey with a cereal aroma. Both seemed fresh and had a light tannic taste. I preferred the Assam, but would certainly see that someone else might prefer the English Breakfast. Toci
