My first Assam . . . I am pleased to report that this one has lived up to all the hype surrounding teas from this region.
Reminiscent of a good chocolate stout, it begins with a honeyed nose that translates into a bold, malty flavor and finishes with not a little astringency.
This tea has the personality of a wizened and worldly hard-ass.
I’d call it a burly cup.
