The beautiful curled leaves and buds of this tea from Assam are worthy of the great black teas of the Orthodox tradition, transformed with care to preserve the entire leaf. Its coppery liquor is rich and full, displaying its ample silky and malty character. Its nuances of bark, vegetables (peppers) and dried fruit are enhanced by a volatile finish of fresh herbs.

This is certainly the highest quality Indian Assam I’ve tried, though most of my Indian Assam consumption was through bulk bins at health food stores. That’s not to say this is only good by comparison. This is clearly quality tea, though it is fairly straight forward. Malty assamica notes are clear and present, but a muscatel character reveals itself along with notes of minty herbs, as well as fruity tones I normally associate with Taiwan-style black tea. The leaves are not whole, but that doesn’t affect my enjoyment, even in a gaiwan. Nice for a slightly more refined Assam experience.
