I found this at a British speciality store yesterday in Freeport. Its really a very nice assam tea. Its brisk, robust and malty. The tea is more astringent than the assam teas I have been drinking but that really doesn’t take away from the malty taste. This tea is similar to Mark T. Wendells assam and doesn’t compare at all to Mountain Malt. This tea would make a great addition to a blend for iced tea.

The tea has a bit of too-fine tea dust in it, which would leak through my strainer into the cup and make it horribly bitter, but shaking the tea in the dry strainer for a bit removes that problem. After steeping for 4 minutes, it produces a satisfying cup, with a slight but nearly unnoticeable bitterness at the end. A full, round flavor that takes a drop of milk very well.
