“A classic organic Assam orthodox from the Banaspaty tea estate in Assam. With a pleasant flavor profile, this second flush black is relatively smooth with slight maltiness. A good rich bready Assam that can stand up to a dash milk or cream. A good afternoon black tea.”
Company description not available.
I ordered two big Golden Tips Teas samplers about a year ago (almost exactly a year ago, actually) and there are still so many I haven’t even tried yet. Gotta get on that! Golden Tips seems to be in the process of rebranding itself as Vahdam, and this particular sample bag is branded Vahdam so that’s how I’ve entered it into the system.
This is a classic assam: strong, malty, slightly astringent. There’s a hint of fruitiness/acidity with a clean feeling on the palate. The leaf is mostly dark/black, and small/broken. It’s good but not particularly remarkable. Would probably be good with milk.
