Widely consumed in India and used as a popular base tea for masala chai, this tea also works remarkably well as a self drinker. With a bold flavor, rich color and full body, this tea is smooth enough to enjoy plain, but can accommodate milk readily.

Culinary TeasEventho the ‘looks’ of this one prior to infusion reminds me of Rabbit Food – it intrigues me.
It has a rich and dark color once infused. It doesn’t have a distinct aroma but it’s still warm and relaxing for a bolder, darker black tea base.
It’s fairly strong on the tongue. Full body, rich, pretty hearty.
It’s semi-crusty. Yup! A good one to have on hand if you are looking for a straight-Assam.
I was fairly shocked to see only one other Belseri Estate (named) tea here on Steepster in the database – so – heads up to tea companies – a GOODIE to look into and/or include in the title!
It has a neat earthy after taste to it. I think that might be the characteristic I will remember this tea by long after finishing the cuppa.
Solid!
I’m glad I got a sample of this, it’s very bold and strong with an earthy/woodsy astringency on the finish. I was looking at it on the Upton website says it is a “popular base tea for masala cha” and “can accommodate milk readily” and I can tell that this tea really wants some milk in it but instead of milk I used Lance’s coffee creamer again Bailey’s White Silk & Spice, It was super good, It tasted like a vanilla chai to me.
