The aroma is appealing, with a hint of fruit (peaches or apple). The liquor is a medium brown with a slight red. The flavor is wonderful, with a slight sweet after taste. This tea would be a great all day sip. I have just started exploring Darjeeling, very happy with this purchase.

Nice mild Assam aroma, with a hint of spicy. The liquor (5 min steep) is brown/red. The flavor is a bit tart, with a smoky after taste. This tea would be fine with some cream or sugar. Overall an enjoyable tea.

70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 28th, 2019

It was a bit of challenge to describe the aroma. I finally decided on 'sweet pine'. There is a 'wood' aroma with a definite 'sweet' under tone. The liquor is a deep amber color, malty. I'm not catching any 'peppery' after taste. A decent Assam. Good price for a good tea.

The aroma has a slight earthy with hint of chocolate smell. Taste is clean without a strong after taste, slight hint of honey, smooth and mild. Nice amber color. I made it 'strong' with heaping teaspoons and 5 minute steep. This will be easy to drink all day. I never use milk or sugar.

My brew had a very dark, deep brown liquor. Good taste with a hint of a smoky after taste. Probably strong enough for milk or sugar for those who indulge. Some lemon might be just the thing.
