This tea is the deal of the century! I find it to be rich and satisfying, pleasant aftertaste, and good body. I buy this by the pound, and store 1/2lb in a tin to drink plain, then add 1/4lb each to 2 different tins of flavored black tea (I just like a mild flavoring in the AM). It blends beautifly with just about anything, and has characteristics of a black tea 4x the price! For the price, you just can't beat it!

I bought this tea and also Assam Bardang. Personally, I prefer Harmutty. The taste was smoother, fuller, and less bitter than the Bardang. It has an aroma that reminds me of autumn leaves. I bought a 2 pound bag and drank it all in a few months, and I'm buying another one. I usually add some milk and sugar, and sometimes I first boil the water with spices.

Utterly full bodied. A tad less malty, and a wee bit less refined than 222 Assam Hajua TGFBOP, this is a wonderful tea to drink every day; hot, with milk and sugar, or chilled with sugar and lemon. This is never a wimpy tea. I like its rough edges. Always deep, bright and bold. Rich red color. Never offends, even drunk day after day.

Smooth, one note flavor. Very enjoyable even though it lacks depth. Easy to drink. Light aftertaste


Reviewer: Donald Strawsburg,
Good basic tea, not as malty as some others, but well worth the cost. Be careful when steeping this tea, it can collect some heavy betterness in the bottom of the cup if over steeped. Creat for a quick cup, a minute of steeping will do the trick, i think no more than 3 minutes for a delightful heavy tasting cup.


Reviewer: Martin R,
Great value in a full bodied tea. Great with milk and sugar. Rich flavor.
