A full-bodied, mellow cup which starts with delectable malty flavors which gradually grow big and define the central theme of the liquor.

Subtle sweet undertones, akin to yellow raisins and date palm can be perceived towards the middle; adding a layer of depth and vivacious intensity to the cup.

Delicate woody accents can be picked up towards the end, which however ebb to finish on delightful stone-fruity flavors; making for a memorable cup of Assam orthodox black tea.

مميز

شاي جميل جدا تم تجربته باكثر من طريقة واكثر طريقة استمتعت بها هو وضع 100مل على كل جرام شاي ووضعها في براد تحت شمعة تحتفظ بالحرارة لمدة 15 دقيقة وبعد ذلك تتذوق شاي جميل جدا
انقل تجربتي بوضع ٥.٥ جرام على ٦٠٠مل

A very delicious tea. I have
tried it in more than one way. The method I enjoyed the most was adding 100 ml to every gram of tea and placing it in a refrigerator under a candle to retain the heat for 15 minutes. After that, you will taste a very delicious tea. I will share my experience by adding 5.5 grams to 600 ml.

Best Tea Around

Excellent quality, great flavour, really strong.

Excellent

Incredible 7 day delivery to Perth, Western Australia (i.e quicker than most domestic Aus postage) with tracking at every step of journey - and on top of that, a lovely Assam tea delivered in vacuum sealed packs.

Assam Black Tea

Wow I drank my first cup and was surprised how wonderful the taste was. I will be adding the auto ship on my next purchase!

Yummy

String, refreshing and great in the morning

Great Assam tea!

Black Assam tea, great aroma

Exquisite

Changed my tea routines completely. Even though I am still exploring the inventory and trying new teas. I can already say that TEABOX is surely my tea supplier. Forget about sugar, real tea doesn't need it.

Fresh

74 years old and now I know what fresh tea tastes like. Easy to order and timely delivery. With so many options I look forward to trying other varieties.

Pleasant and mild

Found this tea to be pleasant and mild. It was mellow and enjoyable. Less showy than some other stronger summer blacks which i tend to prefer, but very nice.
