Nestled beside a wildlife reserve near Sibsagar in the heart of Assam's tea country, the Mangalam Estate has been producing premium teas since the early 1970s. In this 2025 offering, bold, well-made leaves yield an invigorating, malty cup with a sweet aroma that hints at vanilla, cocoa, and cherrywood. The sweetness blooms in the dark copper liquor, adding a rich mouthfeel that complements notes of cocoa and subtle hints of apple. The brisk finish lingers on a distinct note of dry red wine.
