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!

Bio

I’m a writer who drinks tea to survive the creative process. A few years ago, I discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I’ve been hoarding all kinds of tea ever since!

My favorite teas change by the day. I usually drink them unsweetened, without milk. I like white and green teas, but I tend to prefer black and oolong these days. Rooibos can be hit-or-miss, same with herbals. (I mostly avoid blends with hibiscus, as I find it too tart, and I’m not a huge mint fan.) But I love when I find a good herbal that I can enjoy when I don’t want caffeine. I’m actively searching for tasty blends with chamomile in them.

I enjoy both flavored and straight teas. Some of my favorite flavors are vanilla, spice, apple, orange, chocolate, and peach. I’m obsessed with ginger. Seriously. I’ve been known to add extra ginger to teas that already have absurd amounts of spice in them. You’ve been warned. ;)
