Today we're trying a straight, one region Black Tea from the Assam district in India. Most Black Tea are a mix of different regions' teas, Assam being one of many. And we try it Tippy GFOP, which is a very high grade of tea.
Don't forget to send in your Tea Showdown entries! See www.steaptv.com for more details.

Good tip about the milk too. I have a feeling that that is a science that I haven't mastered yet.

Also, I'd like to try a Yunnan. If you have a specific plantation, etc., to recommend, hit us up!

Send us your tea pick and maybe you can try one out for free! :) You and Michelle both need to send in your picks so you can take a crack and winning one of these nifty things.
