Comparing:
Black Tea (Assam Fully Oxidized)
V60 Pour-Over Filter Coffee
Assam black tea (Camellia sinensis assamica) is 100% fully oxidized tea leaf from northeast India. Steeping 2.5g in 200ml boiling water (95–100°C) for 3–5 minutes yields a robust, malty liquor with ~45mg caffeine per 100ml, theaflavins, and thearubigins.
V60 filter coffee is gravity percolation through a 60-degree conical paper filter. Using a 1:16.7 brew ratio (15g coffee to 250g water at 92–96°C) over 2.5–3.5 minutes, it produces a crystal-clear cup with 1.25–1.45% TDS and high clarity.
