Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Malty, with soft undertones of yellow raisins and light honeyed accents
Appearance
Bright Amber
Taste
A bold malty base carries layers of sweet yellow raisin and gentle cocoa, lifted by a faint stone-fruit brightness.

Smooth and velvety on the palate, the liquor is full-bodied yet balanced, finishing brisk with a lingering warmth and soft sweetness. A joy to savor this Summer!

Assams

I like your teas and always order the black assams. I’d been waiting for namsung summer to come back in stock but had to order without it so I’m trying some new ones and can’t report on how they suit me but we always like the Banaspaty. I also. Like your business profile, correspondence on the shipments and deliveries and condition of the teas when arrived. Very good service and quality teas!

Strong Assam, I love it

Of all the Assams I have tried from Teabox this has become my favorite. Nice malty and with those cocoa notes underneath. Not too astringent.

Robust and flavoursome

This summer Assam tea is strong with a robust and nuanced flavour profile. It takes milk well, starts off sweetly and leaves a delightful savory aftertaste with each sip.
APerfect breakfast or midmorning tea.
