TTN: Harmnutty STGFOP Assam

Harmnutty is apparently a great producer in Assam.
Dark leaves, with plenty of gold-brown tips. The brew (seeped for 4 mins at 95 C) was very dark orange, like an aged Tokaji AszĂș Esszencia. The nose is the archetypal black tea: strong and assertive with slight hints of orange. The palate is strong, tannic and balanced. Assertive stuff! Very nice.
The terroirs of tea are really interesting, no?
