Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Malt layered with notes of date-palm and light honeyed accents
Appearance
Amber
Taste
A vibrant, malty cup with robust texture and supple depth. Sweet date-palm notes weave through the liquor, accented by gentle cocoa warmth.

Fleeting stone-fruit hints emerge mid-sip before fading into a smooth, lingering sweetness — a classic expression of Assam orthodox from this vintage plantation.

Perfect tea

I didn’t taste all the teas I got myself - and being a tea-enthusiast, drinking lose leaf teas forever I can say, this is one of the best I brewed. Yet. I’ll definitely come back for more. I just hope the fair producing story is true and not just a marketing gag.

A twice a day tea

Well, I am very sensitive to foods and this tea does not give me headaches or problems so I order it repeatedly and never tire of the taste or consistency.

Wonderful morning tea

Wonderful Assam tea. We use it straight and also mix it as a base for other lighter teas.

Always assam

I like to add milk so want a substantial leaf, large too. This was a good base tea and agreeable with others for a different taste as well as on its own.

Another special brick on the wall

Halmari hits you immediately as a great tea but it took some time to appreciate our second order, Namsang Summer black. Learning to improve preparation process to get the best of the flavour. This is also very good Assam tea. I really like the mentioning of Year to help us learn the importance of freshness. Great vacuum sealing. Teabox is a great help in my experiments...with Tea, ofcourse
