Wow, this tea. I’m not even sure how to do it justice… Fortunately, plenty of Steepster users have already described it so well! The first time I steeped it, I couldn’t believe how fruity the aroma was. I even waved my cup under my sister’s nose, and she thought it was some kind of berry-flavored tea. Nope, I told her. Just one of the most delicious black teas I’ve ever tried.
For me, Premium Taiwanese Assam tastes really fruity at first— with notes of plum and berries and maybe a hint of raisin—and then mid-sip, a mouth-watering chocolate note shows up and takes over. Even the empty cup smells amazing when I’m finished. If you like teas with fruity and/or chocolate notes, you’ll love this. It’s smooth and sweet and pretty much perfect. I’ll be ordering more very soon!
