This tea is nice even if somewhat run-of-the-mill. Still, among Assam teas it is above average for sure. Apart from the standard black tea aroma, there are notes of chard, woody peat, berries and parsley. The taste is then bittersweet with main flavours being cranberry and dry wood. However, the most memorable quality is its smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds.
I have been a fan of green tea for a while and only recently (in 2017) started exploring other kinds of tea in greater depth. I rarely drink blends or white tea and avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied. The one thing that I am currently missing in my collection are teas from India, in particular some Darjeelings.
