This sturdy Indian black tea is unfailingly full bodied but best known for its characteristic “malty” flavor and sweet aroma that sets Assam apart from all other black teas. This Assam Mangalam cultivar is rolled in such a way as to preserve the buds downiness and produce a flavor of honey and malt. Even purists should try this low-grown, orange-red to dark red tea with milk and sugar. Assam takes to milk better than any other black tea due to its high tannin content. Assam is also known to cause heartburn, so if this is a concern, try Royal Golden Yunnan instead.
