Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma
Lifted notes of malt, date palm and soft caramelized accents.

Dark Amber
Taste
Nestled within the verdant embrace of the Sibsagar district of Assam, the Mangalam tea estate unfurls over 118 hectares, a pioneering testament to the art of tea cultivation. Within this realm, a symphony of flavors takes shape, encapsulating the essence of Assam Orthodox - a tea that beckons with a full-bodied, robust allure.

From the very first sip, a chorus of vibrant maltiness resonates, a resounding invitation that lingers throughout the cup's journey. A dance of delectable notes, reminiscent of date palm and imbued with the sweetness akin to yellow raisins, emerges at the tea's heart, crafting a gentle texture and embracing warmth upon the palate.

As the symphony unfurls, subtle accents akin to cocoa weave a tantalizing melody, intertwining with a stone-fruity character that graces the cup's finale. This crescendo of flavors gracefully subsides, leaving behind a lingering, spicy tonality—a testament to the tea's enduring legacy.

tea with fresh floral aroma

I have now tried several of the Teabox black teas that are vacuum packed and I'm impressed how they have a fresh floral aroma. Years ago I visited a tea plantation in the Himalayan foothills and I remember how much I liked the aroma of fresh tea. The Teabox teas bring that experience back to me.

Favorite Assam

This is my favorite Assam tea. It has a fruity flavor and is full bodied and can be made strong without becoming tannic.

In my opinion, he...

In my opinion, he is inferior to Halmari and Doomni. And the price is too high, but overall a good soft assam without pronounced astringency.
