A full bodied tea with a malty flavour from tropical northern India, ideal for energizing morning tea, and getting you going throughout the day.  A great alternative to coffee.

Assam is one of the largest tea growing regions in the world, and produces a huge amount of black tea. For that reason, "Assam tea" is a little like "California wine"-- it can refer to a rare vintage product that costs a week's salary per glass, or an inexpensive beverage that can be bought with the change found in the couch cushions.
With that in mind, this is a moderately priced tea, and it is of a complexity and flavor that corresponds to that category. It is very drinkable, and does have some of the musky, malty character found in Assam teas I have been buying from other providers (including the Indian brands) for over 30 years. It has the characteristic "black stick" rolled leaves that almost look spray painted with black matte paint. It has the characteristic dark color when brewed. It has the rough and tumble flavor that is just shy of bitterness. It is not quite as acidic ("brisk") as some other teas which might go by the name Assam as well. It is just a basic drinkable tea, and OK for everyday.
It can get bitter if steeped too long, but as long as one exercises caution, this can be a satisfying cup.
Just don't expect vintage cabernet. You aren't paying those prices.

I enjoy the taste of this tea. It is very pleasant and can be mixed with other teas and drunk as one cup of very enjoyable tea.

Delicious tea with a nice bouquet of red fruit and tartness from the rhubarb. A lighter black tea, perfect for the afternoon

I love this tea.  It has a deep dark full flavor.  Once I started drinking this tea, I can't go back to tea bags.

I like this tea, it has a good taste, as usual, without any additional flavours and i bought it for a really good price! I like the can also.

The product has a very good taste for it not being a dairy product. There are different flavors, but I feel the vanilla is best, plus you can add coco to change the taste. The taste is very much like a malt drink.

For the price, this tea can't be beat.  Do not expect an estate grown and processed type tea.  You aren't paying that kind of money.  This is a very good every day tea.  It brews a dark amber cup with a full body and taste, not as malty as most Assams, more along the lines of breakfast teas.  To my tastes, it is fine plain, but will hold up to milk and sugar.  An excellent value for heavy tea drinkers.

I am definitely not a tea expert. I grew up in a British household drinking Tetley's or Lipton black tea with milk and sugar. I am trying to branch out and try more varieties of teas and came across this flavour in a tea sampler. After two wonderful cups, I ordered this canister. This is how I wished the tea I drank as a child tasted. It's a wonderful black.

I do not have the most experience with different teas, but I really enjoy this one.  It will be my tea of choice for quite a while.

It's one of the best black tea I've had. The first sip gives me rich cocoa, peach, apricot, grape notes. It's full bodied and goes well with 2% fresh milk. Long loose leaves with golden tips. That's a stamp for quality. This tea puts Adagio to shame.

A wonderful full-bodied tea! The leaves are NOT "dust" and tiny pieces that leave dregs in the bottom of my tea cup like some teas. This tea is well worth the price!

The product arrives well-packaged in an air-tight paper bag with protective coating and a reusable zip-locking closure. The smell upon opening the bag was not as rich as other Darjeeling black teas I've bought in other places. For reference, I used a Grosche Aberdeen tea steeper preparing my first serving. While steeping, the odor is more like that of cut grass than black tea. Don't let that discourage you because it tastes nothing like it smells. The taste was on the bitter, dull side rather than robust and inviting. Definitely a tea to be served with milk. I am not disappointed with the product. Every tea has its own personality. It's all about serving the tea appropriately to get the most enjoyment.

This is a no holds barred tea, which I like. It reminds me of eating redhots, but then there's this great understated orange flavor. The black tea is very smooth and blends well with the spices. I'm a fan after 2 cups because a) it's a great afternoon tea and b) my whole house smells amazing after brewing such a small amount.

Full bodied tea. Good to wake up to early every morning. None of that puny, weak stuff some people call "tea!"
