Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Pronounced notes of malt and yellow raisins, underlined by light honeyed accents
Appearance
Dark Amber
Taste
A rich, full-bodied cup with vibrant malty notes at the fore, unfolding into layers of sweet date palm and yellow raisins. The liquor has a rounded, smooth mouthfeel with a lively, crisp texture.

Gentle hints of stone fruits emerge mid-palate, tapering into a soft cocoa finish. Light caramelized accents linger on the clean, refreshing aftertaste, while a touch of astringency adds structure. A nuanced, well-balanced summer black that keeps you coming back for more.

Satisfied with my first order

A pleasant woody, malty and sweet aroma followed by strong taste of Assam.
Pairs well with many sweet and/or buttery desserts.

I should also mention your satisfactory pricing policy this days and kind customer service during the busy sale period!

What a great addition...

What a great addition to the Assam offerings at Teabox! A great depth of malty flavor. I added a bit of honey which was a nice compliment to it, but it's strong enough to hold up to using maple syrup as well. I ordered the sample size but will soon be ordering more!
