The bold, dark brown leaves of this Season’s Pick Assam infuse a thick, rich cup with notes of malt and cocoa, enhanced by hints of manuka honey and spice. A molasses sweetness accentuates nuances of malt and oak, which lend an intriguing depth to the toasty aroma. The full finish reveals a spicy astringency, balanced with lingering hints of stone fruit. This exceptional Assam blend offers a great value for an everyday cup.
