This was a free sample with my Nina’s Paris order.
Assam is my favorite straight black tea, so I was super happy to get this as a free sample.
The dry tea is super fragant, smells sweet and flowery, slightly fruity. The brewed tea is moderately thick and heavy. It tastes sweet, fruity, flowery. It is also malty and reminds me of a heavy sweet bread.
I think this is one of the best straight assam teas that I have tried! I did not have to add any milk or sugar at all.

Lala, did you order from Amazon or is their site up?
I don’t think the site is up yet. I ordered directly from Laurent, I just told him what I wanted via email and paid by paypal. A small box ships UPS for approx $20 shipping, it fit 8 – 1.6oz teas.
Oh good to know, thanks! Were the teas in bags? As far as pricing what would compare them to? Just wondering if they’re in my range right now or not :)
Good to know, thanks!! Just curious, what price range are they? How much for 1.6 oz? And do they come in bags or tins? :)
It was loose tea in clear bags that were heat sealed. The teas cost between $7.50 to $10.50/1.6 oz bag. Not sure how much the tins cost, but more expensive. Can also get 3.2 oz bags.
