Assam. I brew it according to the suggestions. As they say it is a completely different cup of tea.

First impression is austerity. Second impression: it calls for sugar and milk or just sugar or just milk. (Instinctive reaction, myself I usually do not put nothing in tea or coffee).

Then diffuse bitterness, not unpleasant, not at all.
Tannin, yes, but just present, just a hint.

Thanks to the big new cup, I added just a bit of milk. I learned that in Glasgow. Where I was, they thought that coffee was for weaklings or degenerates, or something that they expressed just by closing the shoulders not to waste any word, the poor souls, so I had to drink what they had. And with that it opens up quite a lot. I feel gentle fragrances (flowery) that were covered by the bitterness. The flavor on the lips that was too strong becomes milder and enjoyable. It becomes very very pleasant. Thank you AM. it is this what you meant?

It is a different drink. I will brew it again, with milk, right from the start, unless some of the distinguished members correct me where I am wrong.
