I have been waiting forever to try this tea. I have wanted to try A and D for a long time but their tins are so large, I didn’t want to make a purchase before trying. Thank you Sil for helping me out on this one!
Assam is my all time favorite straight black tea. It doesn’t matter how it has been processed and whether it is loose leaf or bagged, it is always the best.
This tea is delicious. It is bold but still smooth. There is only a very mild malt-like taste to it, also a slight roasty flavour. It is medium thickness. I am only getting a very, very mild aftertaste and is not astringent at all. There is a slight natural sweetness to the tea.
Definitely worth the wait to try this tea. Now I am going to try to wait for another sale to pick some of this up, and most likely get some of their other teas too!

i think that the pictures just make their tins look larger than they are lol. I mean i KNOW it’s 4.4oz…but many the tin is so small compared to what i pictured it being in my head. If i spot a sale i’ll be sure to let you know. Free shipping seems to be a great way to do it since it’s expensive to canada :(
also…i don’t like earl grey’s so i can’t speak for that one but the caravan and the double knit are also delicious but i’m not sure i could manage a whole 4.4 oz of the others as easily as i can with the tiger assam.
Well I have “the itch” now, so I might not be able to wait for a sale but I am going to try. And I can pretty much guarantee I will like Mount grey, because it is an Earl Grey, so that won’t be a problem. Ha ha.
