This is one of the few teas that I can taste and smell exactly what the vendor’s descriptions say is there. I smell fruits and wood and the flavor is pure malt with vanilla hiding in the background. A sweet finish with mild bitterness that fades quickly.
Truly an awesome Assam blend. This must be kept in my cupboard.
I think 3 1/2-4 minutes is my sweet spot for this tea. Five minutes would get too bitter for me and 3 isn’t strong enough. :)

@Fjellrev… I do have 100g coming at some point once it gets through customs. Would you like to try some? And Golden Tips has a really low threshold for free international shipping. :)
Mmm, sounds like a wonderful Assam.

Thanks for the offer but I’m ok, really! So swamped and behind with what I already have. I’ll just wishlist it and order it someday. :)
