Impressive and how! This organic Assam Black tea blend is created from two organic (NOP/NPOP) Certified Estates in Assam. If that wasn’t enough, the tea estate has also been certified as the first CO2 (Carbon) Neutral Estate in India. With a naturally sweet and malty body it makes a full red cup and a complexity enhanced by a splash of milk! Enjoyed as a breakfast and afternoon tea.

Here’s Hoping Traveling Teabox – Round #5 – Tea #39
With the tiny leaves, I thought this would be very robust and astringent, but it’s actually mild with a medium-amber colored brew. This one is very ‘rusty’ flavored, that brightness I notice in assam. Very sweet too, actually.
I believe this is the first time I’ve had a Chai Diaries tea. I’ve been curious about their teas for a while, so I’m excited to finally try one.
The dry leaves are small and broken. They look like a standard Assam. Once steeped the tea has two very strong characteristics: malty notes and astringency. The malt note is nice, but wow! that dryness hard to handle. I added cream and sugar, and that helped quite a bit, but there is still a fair amount of astringency especially at the end of the sip. The tea is pretty smooth, and there is no bitterness. As the tea cools I get a bit of a bread note as well.
Not my favorite, but not a bad tea either.
