Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Deep malt, cocoa, subtle touch of prunes and warm resinous undertones
Appearance
Dark Amber
Taste
A full-bodied, robust Assam cup that opens with bold malty richness.

Mid-palate reveals gentle sweetness with hints of date palm and soft cocoa. As the liquor settles, delicate notes of prune glide in, adding depth and complexity.

The finish is smooth and honeyed, leaving a long, lingering warmth on the palate. An expressive summer flush from Banaspaty—comforting, layered, and distinctly Assam.

Aromatic, treat for your smell

As always Teabox’s loose lea leaves are best in the market, flavourful and aromatic!

Best tea I have ever tasted!!

With a budget of £10-£13, I set myself the challenge to see what I can find. Over the years I have tasted a variety of loose teas and this tea has to be the best I’ve ever tasted so far and others also agree.
