Assam Banaspaty Organic FTGFOP1

Black Tea by TeaFrog

A bold tasting tea from the Banaspaty Estate. Known as one of the stronger black teas, it boasts of a rich, malty taste that is balanced enough to stand up to milk. Graded Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe.

The small Banaspaty Tea estate produces superb organic loose leaf Assam tea. The estate lies in the Karbi Anglong district of the Assam Valley. With the heat and humidity, the entire region becomes one giant greenhouse. Together with the climate and terrain, the indigenous tea bushes create this unmistakable full-bodied organic tea.

THIS IS THE MOST ADDICTING NON-DESCRIPT TEA EVER!

It’s almost infuriating that I don’t have more and I’m craving it like a SOB. It’s smooth and bold and with half and half tastes chocolaty. I’ve never craved a tea like this in my life.
And it’s from CANADA! so I have a nice long wait for it to get here.
INFURIATING!

Wow this is really nice. Malty, but when you add milk it really reminds me of chocolate and I’ve never had a plain black that has done that before.
thumbs up

Wow, this is really nice. A very pleasant black tea. Despite the description, I don’t think it tastes particularly strong (and I even brewed it longer than I meant to). Nice golden/orangeish colour, almost no scent that I can detect, and a very smooth taste. I will definitely buy more when this sample runs out!
