Overview
Malty aromatics hover over a sultry tobacco and vanilla cup character. The weighty body has a slippery texture that brings just enough astringency to keep it clean and dignified. The dry, un-ripened fruit in the finish is superb. Cigar Box is a blend of TGFOP leaf grade from the Chota Tingrai Estate and a FTGFOP1 leaf grade from the Mangalam Estate, Assam, India in the summer of 2025. Ingredients: black tea Steeping Instructions 3 grams | 10-12 oz water | 212°F | Steep 4 min. Number of Cups 2 oz makes 19 cups, 4 oz makes 38 cups, 1 lb makes 151 cups
