Sessa 'B' Estate STGFOP1(S)

An exceptionally flowery and creamy Assam! It balances the maltiness with sweetness well. I will definitely consider buying a larger packet after trying the sample!  According to Upton, "While this whole-leaf tea displays only limited tip, the pleasant cup has a creamy-smooth character with a rich complexity that suggests a more expensive tea. This is a special Assam tea at an everyday price."
