“Teabox offers 15 different types of assam…. 15. and I just got samples of all of them. (Hey, free shipping! Gets me every time!) Assams are my first true love (via British/Irish tea bagged tea)...” Read full tasting note
Our first offering from Hattialli plantation in Assam that is known for producing one of the best golden tippy teas.
The name Hattialli is derived from the word “Hatti” and “Alli” which means Elephant Road. The golden tips are long, curled and delicate compared to the black leaves and is a great visual delight. The cup does a delicate balancing act of briskness and mellowness. Careful swirling of the tea in the mouth gives baked bread and oak notes with a fleeting floral taste. A must try assam tea to give you company on slightly cold mornings.

TeaboxTeabox offers 15 different types of assam…. 15. and I just got samples of all of them. (Hey, free shipping! Gets me every time!) Assams are my first true love (via British/Irish tea bagged tea) and so I return to them, adding them into my rotation of black teas that I’m exploring. But where to begin with 15 samples staring me in the face…..Aha! something I recognize!
I’ve started with this tea because I have something to compare it to in Butiki’s upgrade version of this tea. The Teabox version of this tea isn’t as whole-leafed or as tippy as the upgrade version I have in my tea stash, but the leaf smells of malt and apricot like the other Hattialli assam. The liquid was a gorgeous dark red….exactly what I expect from assams. The taste? This tea has a medium mouthfeel and a slight astringency to it. It is nice and round tasting. When the tea was hot I got more of a malty flavor, but as it cooled, the apricot note came to the top…quite a lovely morph, if you ask me! I will have to revisit the premium version of this tea again after having this, but I am quite happy with this tea. All comparisons aside, it is a nice medium bodied assam that would please most palates. Hattialli Estate obviously creates some lovely assams!
Flavors: Apricot, Malt
Will have to check them out, thanks for the info…15 different Assams is an impressive number!
The Tea Fairy, first order and you’re shipping is free….they have tons of Darjeelings as well.
Right up my alley, I have bookmarked them, thank you :-)
TheTeaFairy, I just place my review on Teabox’s website and surprisingly enough got a $1 credit…. I didn’t see the rewards for reviews on their site anywhere, but apparently there is one, so if you start with samples and review them all, that’s $15 off your first true order! :)
