Assams

I like your teas and always order the black assams. I’d been waiting for namsung summer to come back in stock but had to order without it so I’m trying some new ones and can’t report on how they suit me but we always like the Banaspaty. I also. Like your business profile, correspondence on the shipments and deliveries and condition of the teas when arrived. Very good service and quality teas!

Strong Assam, I love it

Of all the Assams I have tried from Teabox this has become my favorite. Nice malty and with those cocoa notes underneath. Not too astringent.
