Tasting Notes

Aroma
Marked by notes of malt, dates with hints of cocoa.

Taste
Singlijan, a true gem among Assam teas derives its name from the Assamese word, ‘Hingoolijan,’ signifying the 'river of the Hingooli fish.' This season's offering makes for an excellent breakfast tea, especially delightful when paired with milk.

The liquor exudes a luscious, full-bodied character that immediately captivates the senses. Its lively malty essence mingles beautifully with a sweet touch of dates, creating a luxurious texture that glides over the palate.

As the infusion unfolds, soft cocoa-like nuances emerge, adding a delightful layer of complexity to the brew. The grand finale unfolds as the cup unveils delectable essence of yellow raisins, bringing a harmonious closure to your tasting journey.

Beautiful Teas

The teas are so subtly flavourful and fragrant. Given the high quality of the products they are excellent value for money

B

The shipping box itself came crushed on one corner and smelled musty. The bteabox was not affected however, to my relief.

Great tea, great taste

I love the teas, their fragrance and taste. Prompt delivery, although with some communication hiccup, but in the end all worked out well.
I would order again - this time some of the green teas - they are still my favorites. Especially because they are organic. That's the only thing I miss about the black ones. Happy customer :-)

My new favorite

Taster's notes called it an "exceptional brew" and I have to agree. I love the balance of the brisk malt with the fruity notes.
