Our first offering from Bokel plantation in Assam that is known for producing high quality orthodox and CTC teas.
The name Bokel is derived from the Assamese word “Bowkool” – which is the informal name of a local spider-flowered tree that grows in the region. The warm chocolate smell of the dry leaves which when brewed produces a mixed vegetal note. This second flush golden tippy black tea has a unique combination – it retains its maltiness with a sharp flavour that can be slightly bitter at the tip of the tounge. A unique tea that retains its maltiness with repeated steepings.

Assam Morning to you! It’s hotter than blazes out here, but my mouth wanted assam, so assam it gets! I reached into my box of samples from Teabox and I was the lucky winner today! This tea was black, tippy and wonderfully malty smelling in the packet….which turned into a gorgeous deep amber red liquor that smells malty and vaguely deeper…. my first sip was a glorious mouthful of malt, but not quite the usual malt note from assams….this is a TOASTY malt note!! What a brilliant surprise! The tea has a medium mouthfeel and is quite smooth. I steeped for 5 minutes, which is sometimes quite daring with assams when you don’t like astringency, but it all worked out beautifully with this Bokel. This would be a lovely cup to have on any given day…..but especially on a damp winter morning when you want a blanket in a cup. I hope Teabox will have this in stock again soon!
Flavors: Malt, Toasty
