From the (Mostly) Unflavored TTB
This is a nice tea, but I probably wouldn’t order it. It’s not spectacular. It’s got a touch of sweetness to it, which is nice, and it’s not overly malty or astringent, and it definitely wasn’t bitter.
As it cooled, I got almost a sweet potato taste from it, which surprised me. I wasn’t expecting that as all. I think that’s the first time I’ve really gotten that sweet potato taste from a tea that people talk about all the time.
(The tea had cooled quite a bit by this point as my husband decided we were smoking pork today, and I was rushing to get it ready to go while he was outside getting smoke going in the modified Weber kettle.)
I think people who drink this kind of tea more would appreciate it and get more flavors out of it.

Yep, we enjoyed the sweet potato taste too. Mokalbari is a good Assam. It handles milk and sugar well, does its job, and doesn’t break the bank.
I didn’t try it with sugar or milk, but it was quite nice on its own. I’m still just starting to get into black teas, and this was a decent one.
I hadn’t looked at the price point on this one, but you’re right. It’s very affordable.
I would love to stock some fancier Assams, but the problem with being small is that most tea estates don’t want to deal with you!
I can definitely understand that, from both sides.
