My NBT's keemun has cooled down to the point where I can take large mouthfuls, guzzling it down. That's usually a good taste test for me. Unfortunately, this tea doesn't pass. Sorry NBT... no keemun from you any more.

You are doing my homework for me.
I was planning to try it and compare to Tea House Emporium. Pity.

I have tried three Assam they sell:
1 x BI02-1, Assam Moran BOP Sample
1 x BI09-1, Assam Orangajuli TGFOP F.F. Sample
1 x BI13-1, Assam Sewpur TGBOP (organic) Sample
Moran was the most boring. Sewpur was a bit better. Orangajuli was a bit better than Sewpur. However, all three didn't impress me too much. I though to order Sewpur and Orangajuli samples again to give them the second chance, but dropped the idea. I am going to buy many different black teas in London. I also found quite a few websites that sell teas in the UK I would like to try them. So, no second chances.
I just noticed that they have a new Assam, Assam Hazelbank FTGFOP1, I want to try it. Have you got a sample of this one?
In my cup I have Ahmad Hampton Breakfast.
I am not overly excited by its taste, but it is the best out of the three that I have in the office.
Twinings Classic English Breakfast and New English Tea English Breakfast are the others. Never again these two.
