Commercial Description
Our finest Assam tea is grown in the Brahmaputra Valley in north-east India. We select only superior teas from the second flush season, when the quality is at its very best. The flavour is rich with a distinctive malty taste found only in teas from Assam, making it deliciously invigorating for breakfast and throughout the day.

This will work. My wife ordered this brand on sale when her usual Assam ran out, and likes it--bearing a more delicate palate than I, she coerces 3 cups from a bag. As with most bagged teas, I drop one in a bigger cup, and steep for more than 5 minutes while occasionally stirring and swishing the bag around with a spoon back and forth in the water, to sweep out the most molecules of flavor possible. Amid such treatment, the tea gets extraordinarily dark, out of proportion to its medium-strong flavor.
While it's not the best Assam I've had ("best" with me being synonymous with "strongest"), it's worth the price, with a reasonably robust, somewhat malty flavor that I've learned is to be expected from a tea of this origin. Not overly bitter, either...firm and flavorful, yet mellow at the same time. I won't raid her stash (lower case "s", as opposed to the tea brand), but will accept her invitation to tea when Taylor's Assam is involved.

Nice aroma, but a delicate tea, if you add a bit too much water. And as mentioned by earlier reviewer, loses that flavour if not kept sealed.

UPDATE: Good Assam with fine aroma, full bodied with that slight weakness in mid-palate characteristic of pure Assams, smoky finish. One negative: it seems to have a short shelf life as loose tea. As I write this, it is harvest time in Assam, and this tea (fresh from the vendor) seems to be faded or of lesser quality.
