Got this tea on a great sale recently. I almost wondered if it would live up to expectations due to it having a strong discount. On first brew, I was pleasantly surprised. Typical deep malty lushness with light astringency/mouth feel & a rich dark color. I see it’s sold out now. Glad I got it & ready to try some of the others I picked up.
I have now purchased the 2023 second flush Coombergram Summer Black twice because I really love it. Nice malty strong Assam, but less astringent compared to many others I have tried.
Malty with hints of dried fruit

as described, the tea is delightful to the palate and a soother to the senses. I like it best with a splash of milk, after steeping the leaves for a few minutes. Enjoyed at any time of the day

I don't know tea words, and don't know quite how to describe this tea. I tend to drink VERY malty Assams - the kind you could float a horseshoe on. This one is /different/. Not especially astringent, DEFINITELY not what I'd call malty; but it is compelling and delicious and I'll probably end up buying another bag in the VERY near future.

This is one of my new favorite teas. Before I even steeped it I could tell it was going to be amazing from the smell. I wasn't disappointed- in fact, I'm in love! Sweet, fruity, malty, rich, almost a hint of chocolate...just perfect. Everything I want in an Assam, and you can't beat the price! Top-of-the-line freshness and flavor at an amazing value. LOVE!

Very, very pleasant tea, very much to my taste, plain, slightly fruity, strong flavor.

This tea may be my new morning favorite! There is a slight astringency to the flavor but it isn't overpowering, and the main body of the tea is smooth, velvety, and malty. There is hardly any bitterness. I thought I was going to have to add some sugar and cream to this tea, but I was delighted to find that it tastes amazing plain.
The aroma alone makes this tea worth purchasing--brown sugar, cherries, and malt. Heaven.

Clean and smooth. Neither heavy nor light, it's right in the middle. Not a complex tea, this one is straight to the point and does the job with a smile.
A slight astringency, which I could see being fatal if over-steeped, but the light bitterness makes the tea lovely to drink either solo or with your favorite tea condiment. For myself, I found cream and sugar to be a divine compliment.
It is enjoyable when iced, but the bitterness does come through. Adding a little lemon/sugar helps!
