Taste
Amidst the lush landscapes of Assam's Sibsagar district lies the Mangalam tea estate, sprawling across 118 hectares and embodying the essence of tea craftsmanship. This season's harvest brings forth a medium-bodied cup which feels quite robust and brisk on the palate.

Each sip unveils a symphony of flavors: a lively maltiness greets the palate, accompanied by delightful notes of date palm and the sweetness of yellow raisins. Subtle hints of cocoa interlace with stone-fruity undertones along the way, culminating in a spicy finish that lingers, a testament to this tea's rich heritage. A must try this season!

tea with fresh floral aroma

I have now tried several of the Teabox black teas that are vacuum packed and I'm impressed how they have a fresh floral aroma. Years ago I visited a tea plantation in the Himalayan foothills and I remember how much I liked the aroma of fresh tea. The Teabox teas bring that experience back to me.

A cut above the rest. Best tea by miles

Couldn’t be more happy. I literally get excited boiling the kettle!

Favorite Assam

This is my favorite Assam tea. It has a fruity flavor and is full bodied and can be made strong without becoming tannic.

In my opinion, he...

In my opinion, he is inferior to Halmari and Doomni. And the price is too high, but overall a good soft assam without pronounced astringency.

It's a great tea, but

It's a great tea, never bitter, but not as flavorful and malty as the Harmutty, imo. For half the price I'd buy the Harmutty every time.
