Taste
A captivating, medium-bodied cup from the picturesque Barak Valley of Assam. From the very first sip, you'll be enveloped in a gentle embrace of a soft malty character, setting the stage for a truly exquisite experience.

As you journey through the cup, the tea gracefully evolves, revealing mellow accents of maple syrup that add a delightful touch of sweetness to the brew. Along the edges, subtle undertones of wet wood delicately interlace with hints of cocoa, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that further enrich the drinking experience.

These notes gradually subside, giving way to a velvety infusion of nutty tinctures that caress your palate. The finish is nothing short of classic Assam, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction that lingers long after the last sip.

Love this Assam Tea

I have now purchased the 2023 second flush Coombergram Summer Black twice because I really love it. Nice malty strong Assam, but less astringent compared to many others I have tried.

refreshing and reinvigorating

as described, the tea is delightful to the palate and a soother to the senses. I like it best with a splash of milk, after steeping the leaves for a few minutes. Enjoyed at any time of the day

Deliciously not what I was expecting

I don't know tea words, and don't know quite how to describe this tea. I tend to drink VERY malty Assams - the kind you could float a horseshoe on. This one is /different/. Not especially astringent, DEFINITELY not what I'd call malty; but it is compelling and delicious and I'll probably end up buying another bag in the VERY near future.
