Maybe Assam specialists won't find it that special, but for me it was quite a revelation. It has a spicy kick indeed, similar to Assams, but most of all I tasted a wonderful subtle sweetness, that I had not experienced before, at least not this way. It seemed like a hint of strawberry, although that might only be my very personal take. Otherwise, I am at a loss for adequate words to describe the unique taste. I even got a very good second cup out of it. Colombia is on my tea map now!

Half-litre pot at home. Pours nearly clear dark amber with no sediment. Clear aroma of black tea, with some spicy hints to it. Pure flavour of Assam tea with mild peppery hints and barely discernible notes of cocoa beans. Clean palate, with qqmildly rough hints and tannin touches. A clean and well-balanced drink, made from hogh quality Colombian Assam leaves. Great unsweetened, but it also goes really well with a quarter tsp of sugar, which brings out the spicy nuances. Not cheap (€12.80 per 100 g) but certainly worth the money.
13 g / l; 100 C; 3 min.
