Finest Assam Tea |
8/3/2021 |
| My first black tea from S&V. I was pleased with the rich, hearty flavor and smoothness. I'm used to assams that are more bitter, but this one impressed. I like the slightly citrus aftertaste too. |

Chocolatey Goodness |
7/29/2021 |
| Wow, why didn't I order this last time? I drink 90% Assam or blended black tea. This tea immediately hit me with a noticeable chocolate flavor - I even went back and made sure I didn't accidentally brew the wrong tea! I'm not always one to get all the hints and notes other get, as I use sweetener and cream, but this was hard to miss! This tea has a delightful smooth Assam flavor that I love. It now ranks very high in my top 5. This is a definite reorder, and I have to do some more taste-testing, but it might rank as one of my favorite Assams of all time. |

Top Assam thus Far. |

| I've been trying some S&V Assams. So far, this is my top choice with Tonganagaon a very close second. I find the flavor of Banaspaty rich and smooth with a plesantly dry finish. With a caveat that technical tea terms continue to elude me, I'll review Tonganagaon as well, if you're interested. |

Banaspati estate Assam |

| This tea is always on the list to be ordered as we drink more of it than any of our other black teas. Stands up well to milk, taste good cold just a good strong smooth tea. |

One of the Best |

| I only drink, and like, Assam tea. I tried this a few months ago and it is truly wonderful. Strong but slightly sweet (?) . Good with some sugar and cream. |

Smooth and malty |

| I'm working my way through all the Simpson & Vail Assams and this is by far my favourite that I've tried. It has the perfect balance of smoothness and maltiness. It has a strong flavour without being too much and stands on its own. |

Smooth Assam |
4/17/2020 |
| I was glad to see that S&V added to their Assam line-up and anxious to try this tea! Turns out to be a very nice traditional Assam. Leaves are a little more broken than other teas and it's not particularly tippy, but this does not detract from the quality of the resulting tea. One way or the other it, it makes a strong cup, so you had better like that, yet there is no excessive astringency. Definitely good for a second or even third cup. Thanks to S&V for offering this tea! |
