Fancy Assam Tea - WS
Fancy Assam Tea - WS
One of Mr. Vail's 15 original tea blends.
To create an extraordinary cup, we've blended Indian teas to produce a bright copper cup with a fresh garden aroma. The hearty, maltiness of Assam teas are balanced by the medium bodied Darjeeling teas to create a blend that has a malty taste with a slight citral finish.
Ingredients: Black teas from India.
Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
I am generally not one to like 'blends' since I would rather have one or the other. In this case, the blend works well. Depending on how you look at it, it is either a Darjeeling with extra punch or a light Assam with a champagne overtone. Better than expected and nice on a summer day in the afternoon. Neither insipid nor too hefty! I will make this tea a fixture on my shelf.
I found this tea unexpectedly and have not been disappointed. Malty, smooth and fragrant. I definitely have it as a second cup daily. Never miss.
Lovely cup, slightly malty sweetness with a medium body and a hint of floral notes in the scent of the tea. Great for the second cup of the day.
