This is really a delightful Assam – rich and full-bodied! It has a slight maltiness to it but what I notice more is a fruity, almost wine-like tone to this tea. Very enjoyable, there is some astringency to this, but I find that it plays well to the fruit notes that the tea possesses. It has a very pleasing character, overall, and no sign of bitterness (although as with every Assam I wouldn’t recommend oversteeping it)
2 Tasting Notes
A rather amazing Assam! A delight! The color is a rich maroon or burgundy and it’s truly vibrant! LOVE the color! The flavor is full and quite juicy for a black. This is FAB cold or hot. I had one of each so far today! YUM!
