A well rounded taste with a good but non-dominant spiciness with a sweet edge and rounded off nicely with a smooth malty Assam. Unusually a high grade orthodox Assam is used at the tea base as opposed to the usual CTC. This has the advantage of allowing the drinker to elicit a stronger or lighter taste as desired by utilising a shorter or longer steep.
