Mr. Refresh Ideas Location: India Would you recommend this product? Yes | 5 out of 5 | Practically perfect! This tea has a bold and lingering flavor, plus a pretty package! CJs Teaview: 9.9/10 If someone offered me a free trip to explore anywhere in the world, I’d forego the boutiques of Paris, the modernism of Berlin, and the beaches of the Bahamas for the tea plantations of Assam. I want to look into the eyes that discern which plants are best. I want to shake the hands that pluck the leaves. I want to thank everyone involved in the business of tea from that lush region of Northeastern India. And of course, I want to sample lots of tea. Until that happens, I take my tea tours on the web. Golden Tips of Darjeeling provides rather a good one. Though based in Darjeeling with tea “showrooms†and “lifestyle stores†in and around that area, Golden Tips (GT) shows due respect to all Indian Tea regions–including my beloved Assam. The description of their pure Assam tea reveals that they know their audience: “High grown, sparkling and matured Assam orthodox tea containing rare Golden Tips, having a pronounced malty flavour ideal for tea lovers whose weakness is strength.†I have been caught. When it comes to tea, my weakness IS strength. GT’s Assam is strong all right, but it is so much more than that! It’s sweet. It’s malty and astringent. It’s “terroir†is rich and lingering. My mouth is full of flavor long after I’ve swallowed my last sip. If you like dark, black tea, this Assam is nearly perfect. To brew it right, scoop a heaping teaspoon per six ounces of water into your pot. Add your boiling water and steep for 4 minutes. Even if you steep it a bit longer, this tea gets stronger, but not bitter. The packaging is fit for a member of the Royal Family. It arrives in a crimson velvet drawstring bag. Who doesn’t love a bit of luxury? I know I do. I recommend this tea without reservation. | |

Mr. Refresh Ideas Location: India Would you recommend this product? Yes | 4 out of 5 | This is a nice and smooth Assam that picks up sweetener wonderfully and reflects the addition with deeper nuances both malty and smoothly caramel-esque Jamie’s Teaview: 7.5/10 I love an Assam tea. It’s surprising (or rather, it’s not surprising) how much variety there is in a category like “Assam” in terms of flavor and character and I am hardly a master of every nuance of this type of tea. I frequently enjoy them as I nearly always drink black tea as my first cup of the day. I enjoy all sorts of black teas and the strength and kicky maltiness of Assam style teas please me on mornings that I am very tired or the sky is gloomy and I feel the need of a tea that doesn’t mess around in terms of wake up capabilities. This Assam is described in minimalist fashion as being a High Grown, Orthodox Assam. I’m presuming it’s not a fancy estate offering and I expect some sturdiness in the cup. I prepare a teaspoon of the coal and dark brown-black leaf in 8 ounces of freshly boiled water, allowing a three minute steep time. The cup is dark copper in color with a slight halo of gold. The taste of the tea is interesting – even with a bit of sweetener added, the tea seems of absorb it well…if that makes any sense. Sometimes you add a little sweetener to a black tea and you taste mostly the sweetener. It overpowers the taste of the leaf if you aren’t judicious. This tea, on the other hand, just seems to take the sweetener added into itself without giving up it’s tea taste. I like that. It’s appreciable. The taste of this tea is fairly sturdy (definitely helpful on gloomy mornings!) and not sour or bitter. There’s a fair amount of maltiness to this Assam which is something that I enjoy. This is a nice and smooth Assam that picks up sweetener wonderfully and reflects the addition with deeper nuances both malty and smoothly caramel-esque. Somehow, there is a certain light character to this tea, perhaps owing to the jaunty malty flavors, but this is an Assam with a great breakfast style to it in terms of body, character and taste. Really good. | |
