The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark, coppery brown. Nothing outstanding, mild overall. Easy to sip all day.http://ratetea.com/review/7119/http://ratetea.com/review/7119/Wed, 08 Oct 2025 14:34:10 ESTClassic Assam aroma, with a bit of a fruit under tone. Liquor is a deep amber/red (5 minute steep). Flavor is excellent Assam. Overall, an excellent blend.http://ratetea.com/review/7097/http://ratetea.com/review/7097/Fri, 27 Jun 2025 22:22:54 ESTThis is a decent, budget-priced Assam. It lacks the full, malty flavor that a first-rate Assam should have, but it is not bad. A little thin and mild, but perfectly drinkable. http://ratetea.com/review/7037/http://ratetea.com/review/7037/Wed, 21 Aug 2024 13:06:52 ESTThis 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! The dry leaf is incredibly aromatic, a strong, rich, and complex aroma, with the dominant tones malty and bready, with fainter notes of dried fruit and spice and perhaps a hint of wood. T...http://ratetea.com/review/7036/http://ratetea.com/review/7036/Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:25:48 ESTThis 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 one. The dry leaf has a pleasing aroma, and was very fresh when it arrived. Relative to other Assams, it smells more bright and cool. The smell of the dry leaf suggests a cup that will be...http://ratetea.com/review/7035/http://ratetea.com/review/7035/Mon, 19 Aug 2024 12:53:30 ESTA 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, which looks quite dark but well-formed and mostly intact, has a surprisingly strong strawberry aroma, alongside typical deep Assam notes. The smell of the dry leaf leads me to expect a tea tha...http://ratetea.com/review/7024/http://ratetea.com/review/7024/Wed, 24 Jul 2024 09:11:11 ESTTrader 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 first category. Compared to some top Assams (say, Murchie's loose leaf), it can't compete for density and complexity. Yet nobody expects world-class performance from a store brand. Instead, t...http://ratetea.com/review/7011/http://ratetea.com/review/7011/Fri, 31 May 2024 07:38:22 ESTI 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 is very cheap at around $16 per pound, a great value for how good this tea is. Its not a super fancy tasting tea but it certainly is a very good classic cup of breakfast tea. I would definit...http://ratetea.com/review/6994/http://ratetea.com/review/6994/Fri, 12 Apr 2024 20:35:33 ESTNice 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.http://ratetea.com/review/6988/http://ratetea.com/review/6988/Sun, 25 Feb 2024 13:06:08 ESTThe 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.http://ratetea.com/review/6949/http://ratetea.com/review/6949/Mon, 25 Sep 2023 09:21:06 ESTAroma is an earthy scent, with a hint of fruit (peaches, maybe?). The liquor (5 minute steep) is a clear, dark brown, Flavor is classic Assam with a slight maltiness, very smooth. I would say this tea will be good for all day sipping. Subtle flavor.http://ratetea.com/review/6948/http://ratetea.com/review/6948/Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:43:44 ESTThe aroma has a slight fruit scent. The liquor (5 min steep) is a rich dark brown, with a slight maltiness. Solid Assam flavor, with not decreeable after taste. I would purchase again.http://ratetea.com/review/6921/http://ratetea.com/review/6921/Wed, 12 Apr 2023 19:38:26 ESTAroma of this tea is sweet, reminds of grapes. The liquor (5 min steep) light, clear honey color. Good Assam flavor, with a slight sweet after taste. Good tea.http://ratetea.com/review/6909/http://ratetea.com/review/6909/Thu, 23 Feb 2023 13:15:23 ESTSolid Assam, good aroma with the expected earthiness, maybe a slight of chocolate. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. A nice 'clear' Assam taste, with absolutely no after taste.http://ratetea.com/review/6888/http://ratetea.com/review/6888/Sun, 11 Dec 2022 08:39:38 ESTReally 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! http://ratetea.com/review/6884/http://ratetea.com/review/6884/Sat, 03 Dec 2022 08:52:07 ESTAroma 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. http://ratetea.com/review/6882/http://ratetea.com/review/6882/Thu, 24 Nov 2022 09:44:25 ESTThis 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 before I brew it. The brewed cup is exactly what I expect from the aroma: bold, strong, sharp flavor, moderately tannic and also bitter, with an undertone of savory, sour, and slightly sweet fl...http://ratetea.com/review/6876/http://ratetea.com/review/6876/Sat, 19 Nov 2022 08:45:01 ESTThe 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 is a bit expensive so that’s why the value is a bit lower for me. There are so many other cheap teas that are just this good in my opinion. There are no flavorful notes that stick out to m...http://ratetea.com/review/6873/http://ratetea.com/review/6873/Fri, 18 Nov 2022 08:15:07 ESTThis 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 and somewhat floral. When I started drinking this tea the first thing that jumps out is how clear and light and low in astringency it is. It's a change of pace from the usual deep, malty A...http://ratetea.com/review/6856/http://ratetea.com/review/6856/Mon, 17 Oct 2022 14:13:10 ESTOne-litre pot at home, made from tiny dark brown leaves and golden tips of Assam tea. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china) with no sediment. Clear, leafy aroma with pronounced malty notes. Bitter but not aggressive, leafy flavour, with distinct malty notes. Moderately astringent palate with a leafy and malty aftertaste. A decent Assam, rather moderate in taste, compared to, e.g. Nr. 1 and Nr. 3 from the same brand, but certainly tasty enough and enjoyable. Fair price (40 DKK per 100 g). ...http://ratetea.com/review/6852/http://ratetea.com/review/6852/Mon, 17 Oct 2022 13:58:25 ESTOne-litre pot at home, made from small, wiry black and brown loose leaves of Assam. Pours nearly clear dark copper brown (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of black tea leaves, with malty touches. Bitter, leafy flavour with spicy notes and malty touches. Astringent palate with spicy and leafy aftertaste and hints of malt. A high quality Assam tea, tasty and rich in body. Fair price (50 DKK per 100 g). One of the best teas of this style I have ever had. 8 5 4 85 10 g / l; 100 C; 4...http://ratetea.com/review/6778/http://ratetea.com/review/6778/Thu, 13 Jan 2022 13:44:28 ESTGreat aroma, spicy and earthy. Liquor brews to a dark brown (5mins). Good flavor with just a slight malty after taste. Classic Assam.http://ratetea.com/review/6701/http://ratetea.com/review/6701/Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:26:52 ESTOne-litre pot at home, made from very wired, curly, longish dark brown leaves of Assam. Pours clear dark copper brown (against white china). Clear aroma of Assam leaves, with pronounced malty notes. Delicate, bitterish flavour of black tea leaves, with notes of malt and spicy touches. Mildly astringent palate with malty aftertaste with spicy hints. A delicate and well-balanced Assam. The tea company advertises it as the finest of the style in stock. Well, it is definitely good. The price is not unreasonabl...http://ratetea.com/review/6686/http://ratetea.com/review/6686/Wed, 28 Jul 2021 13:26:54 ESTThe 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.http://ratetea.com/review/6675/http://ratetea.com/review/6675/Mon, 07 Jun 2021 21:55:48 ESTVery enjoyable. Nice aroma. The liquor is very dark. Good solid Assam flavor. Good tea at a good price.
