Assam Melody

Bold black tea from the Assam region of India.  Assam tea is known for a deep, burgundy-red cup and pungent flavor.  Our Assam Melody is perfect for tea drinkers who may be new to the powerful character of Assam.  Rich aroma, more sweet starchy than malty, like roasted plantains.  Slight notes of raisin.  Brisk astringency and not extremely pungent.  A solid, 'friendly' Assam, from the well-regarded Meleng Estate.
