I have tried assam teas from this source before and never found any that lit my fire. But this year’s supply of this estate tea is a winner! The leaf is small and twisted, not broken. It is described as tippy tippy and malty sweet. I have to agree, that with a bit of sweetner and my usual short steep this brews up a fantastic cup of tea. The brew is dark amber, the aroma is sweet and wonderful. I don’t add dairy, preferring to enjoy the full malty strong brew. I highly recommend this assam for assam fans.
Numalighur Assam
A nicely balanced malty Assam with lots of golden tips and no astringency, described as tippy, tippy, tippy, sweet. This is a wonderful breakfast tea and is great taken with milk.
