In the northeastern state of Assam in India, along the Brahmaputra River grow the hearty, malty Assam teas. The heavy rainfall and hot, humid day time temperatures in this area create the perfect green house like environment for growth, as well as helping to create the unique taste found only in Assam teas. Their distinct flavor can be enjoyed "as is"; however, Assam teas are often used in conjunction with other teas to create numerous blends, specifically breakfast teas.

The Satrupa Estate is located in the eastern most region of Assam, closest to the Myanmar border, in the Tinsukia district. This tea has large, black, twisted, tippy leaves that yield a bright copper cup with a creamy cocoa-like aroma, an abundantly full flavor and a strong malty taste.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Assam teas complement foods such as chocolate, spiced desserts, meat, strong cheeses, fish and more.

Hearty!

I'm a cream and sugar substitute du jour person, and this Assam stood up to it admirably. It had a pleasant malty flavor with no vegetal, off or weird flavors. I'm also not big on winey notes. I did an S&V Assam taste-off and this made the top 5. I'm re-ordering a small bag along with the others to see how the finalists compare.

Good

This assam enjoys consisent 5-star ratings, but in light of some other S&V Assams, I can't stretch quite that high. While it is full-bodied, smooth and has a nice sweet finish I didn't find it's distinctive character/personality that others enjoy.

Mild Flavored, Smooth

This has good, full-bodied Assam flavor. Its astringency is light and lingering, and it has a slightly woody tone. But in my taste it seems less interesting and not so "bright" tasting as some of the other S&V Assams, Banaspaty, for instance.

Strong and full bidied

This tea has a strong flavor---which is what I really enjoy in black teas. It does have a malty taste, but I did not detect any cocoa like aroma. Anyway it is a good tea to get me going in the A.M. and a pick me up during the afternoon. Will order again

Warm & Inviting

This Assam is perfect for any time of the day. It has a medium body that has a very light almost plum note to it. Excellent sip after sip and leaves you wishing your cup would automatically refill
