Ramanugger Estate FTGFOP1 Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Karbi Anglong, Assam, India74 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2018
I specifically sought this tea out because it was from a region of Assam that is a little higher-altitude, and from where I hadn't previously tried any teas. Interestingly, it did taste a little more like a Darjeeling and other high-grown Himalayan region teas. Although I thought it was a very good tea, I liked it less...

Assam Nokhroy Estate Black Tea (STGSOP1) from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Tinsukia, Assam, India91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 17th, 2018
This was a wonderfully smooth-flavored Assam, yet with good strength and complexity, and a great price. Thank you to Simpson & Vail for this sample!
Dry leaf, which is fine, curly, and has a moderate amount of golden tip, has an interesting aroma, initially there's a slight burned quality, suggestive of candle wax, ...
Marangi Estate TGFOP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Golaghat, Assam, India75 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2018
A subdued but rather strange Assam tea, muted in flavor and with a few off qualities.
This tea was kind of fascinating to review because I just tried a tea of a higher grade, from the same estate, from a different company, Simpson & Vail. I was surprised at how different the teas were. The difference of adding that ...

Mine was called Doomni Estate Black Tea, but it has the same number as what is on here. A smooth, lightly nutty Assam. Good.

Assam Marangi Estate Black Tea (FTGFOP1) from Simpson & Vail
Style: Assam – Region: Golaghat, Assam, India88 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 27th, 2018
This tea had a sublime combination of smoothness and depth characteristic of top-quality teas. The flavor was exceptional but the aroma a little weak and less interesting. Thank you to Simpson & Vail for the sample!
Very curly-looking leaf, beautiful, with a very large portion of orange tips (more than in the compa...
Doomni Estate TGBOP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Baksa, Assam, India92 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 19th, 2018
This is my type of Assam. An intensely strong tea with a brisk, refreshing character and a satisfying depth. Requires care in brewing though; this tea can become unpleasantly bitter and sour if steeped too long.
Dry leaf, broken but with ample golden tips, is lightly aromatic, malty, and pleasant.
Upon brewing t...
Kingly Assam Summer Natural Traditional Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Darrang, Assam, India91 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 16th, 2018
A singular tea, very different from other black teas I've tried: very bold in flavor, yet with a deeper, darker character a bit like ripened Pu-erh.
This tea stood out from TEAORB's other samples. Thanks again to Bahniman and TEAORB for the sample! It was a broken-leaf orthodox tea, the only one sold by the compan...
Doomni Estate TGFOP1 Cl. from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Assam – Region: Baksa, Assam, India90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 15th, 2018
This was a very pleasant Assam, with a slightly more bready character, but otherwise what I expect from an Assam. A good, strong breakfast tea with a smoother than average flavor and some aromatic complexity.
Dry leaf smells pleasant, soft, slightly bready. Unlike some of the other teas, this one looks exactly like...
Korangani Assam Breakfast Tea from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 9th, 2018
One of my favorite breakfast assams, robust and energizing. I brewed it for about 5 minutes, and then was even able to resteep it. It's hearty but fragrant although I can't pinpoint the specific aromas. You feel the tannins but they aren't harsh. A great tea to get you out of bed on a cold morning.

I like this full-bodied tea, with its earthy, almost oakey aroma, for breakfast on cold mornings. If you like good, robust Assams, this is a great choice for you.

Girindra Assam Spring Organic Factory Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Bongaigaon, Assam, India87 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 4th, 2018
I would drink this every morning, it's just so good. Pleasant but nondescript. Smooth tasting, medium body. This tea is not very astringent. I dislike astringent things. It's worth the price. Tastes just as good resteeped.

Jan. 28th, 2018
An above-average CTC tea for a good price. Another of TEAORB's samples, thank you!
The dry leaf is aromatic but the smell is a bit abrasive. It reminds me of the Assam from Quik Tea.
Upon brewing though, the aroma becomes much richer, heartier, and softer. There are notes of cocoa. I really love the flavor an...
Chilarai Assam Spring Organic Factory Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Dhubri, Assam, India82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 15th, 2018
This tea had some strange and different subtleties, but was mellow overall. Thank you to TEAORB for the sample!
The leaf is beautiful, very delicate, wiry black leaves with a hint of golden tips. It is fragile and brittle, and breaks easily. TEAORB describes its aroma as that of "pine". It doesn't quite smell lik...
Assam Leaf Tea - Doomur Dullung from Taylors of Harrogate
Style: Assam – Region: Sivasagar, Assam, India81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2018
I found this expired tea tin, never opened and safely sealed, in a small import store when I was home over break. Knowing how well Assam teas can keep, I was curious to try it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this tea much more aromatic than I would expect for something harvested around 4 years ago.
The leaf...
Disha Assam Summer Organic Factory Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India84 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 9th, 2017
A relatively smooth black tea that I thought tasted better when brewed more strongly. One of the many samples TEAORB sent me, thank you!
Dry leaf, dark in appearance, slightly broken, with a gently curved shape, smells mild, pleasant but uninteresting: fruity and a little bit dusty.
The brewed cup smells sweet, ...
Disha Assam Summer Organic Factory Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India83 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 9th, 2017
This tea tastes sort of bready and soapy at the same time, but in a good way. It's not too strong and not too astringent, which is good. It's a nice tea to have with bland foods because stronger foods would overpower the flavor of the tea. Overall this was a pretty decent tea, however, there are much cheaper tea that I...

Dec. 5th, 2017
Of all the black teas I've ever sampled, this one surprised me the most on the second steep. The first cup was very good but not particularly remarkable, but the second one, wow, it had an explosion of floral aroma that made it smell almost as if it had been scented with jasmine.
The dry leaf looks long, wiry, and ...
Saimo Assam Spring Organic Artisanal Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Tinsukia, Assam, India84 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 27th, 2017
A soft tea that was less interesting than most of the other black teas TEAORB has sent me, but still very pleasant to drink. Reminds me a lot of hot chocolate; something I'd drink later in the afternoon.
The dry leaf of this tea is very dark, thick, and wiry, and noticeably more broken than many of the other large-...
Bhai Bhai Assam Spring Organic Artisanal Black from TEAORB

Nov. 19th, 2017
This tea is somewhere between exotic and bizarrre, but I really enjoyed it. Thank you TEAORB for the sample! Like a good book or song, I notice new qualities in it each time I experience it.
The dry leaf, which consists of long, intact leaves, tightly rolled, with a curly and crinkly shape, has a smoky and vegetal...
Abhilex Assam Spring Organic Artisanal Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Sivasagar, Assam, India91 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 13th, 2017
A mellow, earthy tea that was comforting like wrapping up in an old blanket, and reminded me of dark white teas. Drinking this it almost seems to take me back in time. I am loving sampling the black teas from TEAORB; they sent me a bunch of samples and I have been enjoying the black teas more than the greens.
Dry ...
Zaroni Assam Spring Natural Artisanal Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Sonitpur, Assam, India94 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 9th, 2017
I thought this a top-quality tea, and both interesting and easy to enjoy. It was one of many samples TEAORB sent me and may be my favorite yet. It's naturally sweet, very fruity, soft and warm.
The leaf of this tea is long, wiry, wholly intact, and has more of a golden-orange color than any of the other samples fr...
Wekhaj Assam Summer Organic Artisanal Black from TEAORB
Style: Assam – Region: Dibrugarh, Assam, India92 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 6th, 2017
This is a prototypical high-grade Assam. Really good and exactly what I expect out of an Assam. Strong and deep, but easy to drink and enjoyable through every sip. Contrasting with TEAORB's other samples, which have been exotic and unpredictable at times, this is a more traditional tea that I think a wide range of p...
