This is one of the best teas I have ever tasted. The aroma in unbeaten: full nose and tones of malt and barley brew a dark amber cup that satisfies every time. Superb and worth every penny.

This is a 5 star tea, but I don’t think it’s twice as good as some of the other Assams, though it is twice the price. I just finished a sampler size of it and did very much enjoy it–it was distinctively different from Assam Koomsong and the Harmutty–more bright than heavy. I definitely got the bread/malt/barley flavors, and I agree it’s the perfect astringency. I like the Koomsong just a little bit better because it has this malty-raisin flavor that I like, and, I think, a deeper more compelling aroma. Still, this was quite good.
