One of our finest Assam teas. The heavy presence of gold buds simultaneously brings nuance and strength to the cup. The classic malt character is intertwined with high aromatics and a leathery liquor that is satisfying from beginning to end. This is the one of the best lots we’ve ever received of this tea. It’s a FTGFOP1 leaf grade produced in the summer of 2025 by our friends at the Chota Tingrai Estate in the Tinsukia district of Assam, India.
