gold leaf assam

Known for their bold character, Assam teas are typically hearty, malty brews, but this unusual offering from the famous Meleng estate is quite different. First, observe the very tippy, curly style leaf. A profusion of golden leaf buds contrasts visually against the very dark leaves. The dry leaf aroma is quiet and doesn’t presage how sweet and gently layered the cup is. Lighter bodied, softly fruity, with a delicate floral-honey finish, this special production is quite unique for an Assam and a delightful experience.
