A fine lot from the 2014 season’s peak harvest, these tippy medium sized leaves produce a sweet, medium to full bodied tea liquor with a very smooth disposition and with notably malty flavour notes. A pleasing and easy to enjoy Assam tea.

This is my last untried Assam from my Capital Tea order. In fact, I just have one Ceylon and my free samples left after this. I must say, I’ve been quite happy with my purchases so far for the most part (and his prices are so super low!). Anyway, this tea! The leaves look similar to the Boisahabi Assam I tried earlier – they’re dark, long, and thin with some golden tips interspersed. Dry scent is very musty and hay-like, which I find strangely comforting.
Hmm, I must say, I am a fan! This definitely has that strong malt character as well as intensity of flavor that I expect from an Assam. However, it’s not bitter or astringent, and it’s very smooth. All of the flavor notes here are dark and rich, such as tobacco and molasses. There’s also a bit of a musty hay taste along with some mild woody notes, and just a bit of rich cocoa pops out at the end of the sip. Yum, another satisfying tea!
(There’s a tad bit of astringency as it cools, but not enough to be bothersome.)

Hattialli is one of my favourites!
I tried one previously from Butiki and didn’t like it at all! This one is yummy though. :)
I have the Butiki one, actually. And one from Tea Centre (Courtenay). They’re different grades, so slightly different… but I love them both.
