A rich Assam black tea that you will want to drink everyday. This IS Assam to us. At Devotea HQ, we drink this a lot!
Estate: Halmari
Region: Assam, India
Class: GTGFBOP1
Flush: 2nd Flush 2013
Our Category: Special Assam
Why we selected this tea: First class Assam taste. Makes a mockery out of the poorly-flavoured Assam teabags that pop up on supermarket shelves. This is a classic for the true black tea fan. Incredibly special, but won’t scare the plain tea drinkers in your circle.
Making a pot (start with our method and adjust to suit your taste): 1 teaspoon of tea per 125ml of water. Use boiling water and steep for three minutes.

A lovely Assam tea that I served to my friend Willem, the Bass player. He’s a big guy, a little gruff looking if you don’t know him, but once you do know him you’ll find that he is a teddy bear, AND an excellent musician! He’s been playing jazz most of his life, & is amazing. Of course, he also studied classical, & although bass IS his instrument, he occasionally pulls out a cello, a Bass Ukulele (who knew there was such a thing?), & can also play a few other things. He plays all over town with pretty much everyone that plays jazz in St. Louis, & although we don’t get to play together much, we’ve both agreed we want to book more gigs together. His wife gave me a big hug the first time we played a gig & whispered in my ear, “Don’t tell Willem I told you, but it’s always been his fantasy to play jazz in a trio with a harpist”.
Yet another dream to come true! Now we need someone on percussion.
Sil knows I’m experimenting with unflavoured teas, so she’s been super helpful sending me tons of teas to experiment with. Thank you! :D (219)
This was a nice assam – slightly malty, with a little bit of tobacco – but oh, so smooth. I didn’t even need to add milk or anything to it! I need to drink a few more of my loose samples down, and then it’s time to dive into my Lord Petersham bag!
this was a lovely assam from the devotea! There is no bitterness to this..just a smooth cup of really nice black tea. It makes me want to try even more of the black teas from the devotea, so i’m lucky that terri sent me a few others to try! ):
Ooh, nom. I love a really nice Assam!
it won’t replace some of my other favourites but i’d rotate it in to my cupboard from time to time :)
Thanks for the review, Yes, that one is nice and gentle. I really believe the Mokabari East, the other Assam we carry, is even better! I do like my Assams quite robust.
I volunteer KS he is a drummer.
He is?? :)
I am also a bass player. There are a lot of us around.
No, no, KS plays guitar. Not well but I play.
