I love Assam teas, even though I would have to rate myself as a novice as far as understanding how the tea is grown, cultivated, harvested, and packaged, etc. This is why ordering the four-pack Assam sampler from Upton Tea Imports was a wonderful choice for me. So far I really like the smooth, mellow, roundness of this tea. It is not quite as malty as some other Assams I have tasted, but nevertheless, it’s the sort of tea I can drink on an empty stomach in the morning without the tannins irritating my digestion. I use a coconut creamer from Trader Joes with a little bit of honey, or I drink plain. As a test, I drank straight the remainder in the teapot after it had steeped too long. It was still very palatable. I very much enjoy this friendly, unassuming tea.
Flavors: Malt
