I received a sampling of this tea as a reviewer for the Tea Review Blog.
The dry leaf is very pebble-y – like grains of sand in size, and dark, chocolate-y brown in color. It possesses a vibrant aroma – with deep earthy notes and a baked bread smell and even a distant flowery note. It smells… well, like Assam tea!
The flavor is malty – perhaps one of the maltiest Assam teas that I’ve encountered, with a strong astringency that has a clean, drying effect on the mouth. I steeped it for just 3 minutes but I’m tasting no bitterness. It has a deep baked flavor and a chewy texture. This tea has got some tooth! There is a honey-caramel sweetness to it too. It’s really delicious.
An excellent way to wake up!

I’ve never tried anything from this company either!!
This is actually not so much a company as it is a vacation location! I don’t see anyplace where you can actually order the tea on the website!
Ahhhh! I see!
