Assam Golden Tips from Ghograjan Tea Estate
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India99 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 21st, 2024
This tea is absolutely sublime. It is by far my favorite Assam I've sampled.
Ghograjan Tea Estate got my attention years ago, when they brought some STGFOP tea to a tea expo I was attending, and it impressed me, but I did not order from them until recently, and now that I have, I honestly regret not ordering sooner!...

Aug. 20th, 2024
This is one of several teas I've ordered from Amazon recently, throwing them into an order to get over the free shipping threshold. It is also the first tea I've ever tried from Chota Tingrai estate, although I've tried a number of other teas from other gardens in the Tinsukia region. I was pleasantly surprised by this...

Organic Assam Tea (TGFOP) from Green Hill Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 19th, 2024
A very good black tea that exceeded my expectations especially for its price. However, this tea is not for every moment: it is bold and sharp tasting and strongly caffeinated.
This was one of several teas I have bought recently, throwing into Amazon orders to get over the free shipping thresholds.
The dry leaf, w...
Organic Assam Black Tea from Trader Joe's
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 24th, 2024
Trader Joe's teas seem to fall into two bins:
1. Very good, which at their typically low prices for bagged tea, makes it quite a strong value, even if not nearly the best of its type, and
2. Mediocre to poor, as one expects from most store brands.
Fortunately their organic Assam offering lies squarely in the fir...
Korangani Assam Breakfast Tea from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India86 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 31st, 2024
I really enjoy this tea a lot! The aroma is very pleasant, it kind of smells like pumpkin seeds. The taste is the best part, it is very smooth and thick bodied and not too astringent or bitter at all! It tastes like raisins and pumpkin seeds to me. It is a very comforting cup of tea. It is still being sold today and it...

Season's Pick Assam GFOP Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 25th, 2024
The aroma is nice, but mild, it has the earthy with hint od spice that is expected from a Assam. The liquor (5min steep) is a pleasant deep brown. The flavor is very mild with no after taste. Certainly, a decent all day sipping tea, with nothing remarkable about the tase.

Dec. 11th, 2022
Really nice cup of tea! It was thick bodied and the flavor was rich and sweet. I didn’t notice much of an aroma however, but I could be having sinus issues now. I’ll come back and update my review if I notice more of an aroma later! But either way it still is a rly nice tea!

Assam - Itakhooli Estate from Simpson & Vail

Dec. 3rd, 2022
Aroma is not too strong but it does smell nice and interesting too! It actually has notes of raspberry in the aroma and taste and it’s rly unique and good! Otherwise it just tastes like a very classic assam tea, there is no objectionable astringentness or bitterness.

This was a rather strong, but high-quality Assam sold for an exceptionally good price.
The dry leaf has a potent aroma, spicy and fruity. I already notice the raspberry notes even in the dry leaf. But the aroma somehow betrays a slight harshness: I can tell this is going to be a tea with a bit of an edge, even befor...
Assam - Dikom Estate, GTGFOP1, Black Indian Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India82 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 19th, 2022
The aroma of this tea is wonderful and bready and the aroma doesn’t wear off as you drink it. The taste is very smooth and honestly very “normal.” I like this tea because it is not astringent and it makes me feel good after drinking it (some teas don’t fully agree with me). For how normal this tea is though, it...

Nov. 18th, 2022
This was a smoother, higher-grade Assam that had a much lighter character than is typical for an Assam.
The dry leaf is pretty aesthetically pleasing, it actually looks much nicer than the picture S&V provided on their website: lots of tip, which looks more pale and less golden than some. Its aroma is rather fruity ...

The aroma is nice, with a subtle sweetness, earning the 'winey' designation. The liquor brewed (five minutes) to a dark brown. Solid Assam taste with a slight tangy after taste that stays on the tongue. This tea might pair well with milk or sugar.

Apr. 2nd, 2021
This tea is a classic tasting black tea however it is not my favorite and it is mildly harsh (bitter) for me. It's still pretty smooth and not astringent which I like and I would drink it again if someone served it to me. It's a bit expensive though so I probably wouldn't buy it again since there's better stuff out the...

This tea is named somewhat differently in the US vs Europe but I'm pretty sure it's the same. In Germany it's "Assam TGFOP1 Ananda" with "Second Flush" underneath, whereas in the US the grade is omitted in the name, but clarified in the tea's description so I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.
The dry leaf is pleasa...
