Taste
Indulge in the rich complexities of this captivating Assam tea, a true treasure hailing from the mystical North-East. Prepare to embark on a journey of flavors as you savor this full-bodied Assam cup. Right from the first sip, you will be greeted by vibrant, malty waves that envelop your palate, offering a gusty and invigorating experience.

Delve deeper into the cup, and you'll discover subtle hints of sweet-fruity notes reminiscent of dates, beautifully intertwined with whispers of cocoa. Towards the end, a tantalizing crescendo of furtive stone-fruity flavors emerges, gracefully enhancing the overall experience.

These flavors, akin to the hidden treasures found in nature's orchards, gently fade away, leaving behind a distinct woody texture that lingers on your palate. It is in this graceful finale that the true essence of this exquisite cup is revealed, capturing the essence of summer in every sip.

As always Teabox’s loose lea leaves are best in the market, flavourful and aromatic!
