Loose Assam tea has a malty flavour and should generally be drunk with milk. Our high grade teas have full and pungent flavours, being ideal for breakfast and drinking in the morning.

It is bright, rich, spicy and has a full bodied maltiness and sufficient astringency to take milk well, producing a great breakfast tea.

When you add milk it turns a lovely golden colour, which is do like my tea at to be able to hold it own against the milk. The smell is as divine as divine gets for an Assam tea, beautiful tea smell with a bit of a malted biscuit (type of cookie for the Americans) type smell. The flavour is as divine as the smell, if not more so. This tea was brewed with 100c water for 5mins in a teapot with removable leaf holder and strainer. There’s little astringency in this Assam which surprised me as most Assam I’ve had have had an astringent note to them but not this one. I’m one that does like the astringency but I do think the actual flavour of the tea makes that a non issue. Overall I’m extremely impressed by this tea and after drinking Assam for years this is by far the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this tea and say give it a shot, and it’s worth the price which i think is a fair one. Also, I think these caddy’s look excellent with the bright coloured label and a plain bushed steel caddy.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tea\/comments\/156m3pq\/greys_teas_assam_mangalam_sftgfop1_review\/?utm_source=share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web3x\u0026amp;utm_name=web3xcss\u0026amp;utm_term=1\u0026amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBlogger review\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003ch3\u003eThe benefits of loose leaf tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eThis Assam Mangalam tea is a carefully sourced tea chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eLoose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eAssam Mangalam tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eA little patience is required when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch3\u003eWhich size to choose\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eThere are several packing options: 60grams, 125grams and 250grams - the standard being of 125 grams in a packet.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eYou can select packets or a tin caddy with hinged lid which can be selected from the drop-down options.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eOur silver-coloured packets are a triple laminate of paper, foil and cellophane, specifically designed for tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch3\u003eHow to look after this tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eStore the tea with care: ensure it is stored air-tight, away from heat, light, moisture and strong aromas.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eOur standard best-before is one year.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003ch3\u003eDelivery options\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eOur standard shipping is second class post unless you choose an alternative option.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eFree UK shipping is available for orders over £30 and free first class post can be chosen for orders over £50.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eAt the checkout you may choose to receive a free, full-colour, eight-page guide to our tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eFor more information about buying our loose leaf teas see our page \u003ca href=\"\/about-us\/buy-best-loose-leaf-tea-2\/\"\u003eHow to Buy the Best Loose Leaf Tea\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speciality Teas","offers":[{"title":"125 gram caddy","offer_id":56422145163644,"sku":"1204T1","price":16.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 gram packet","offer_id":56422145196412,"sku":"1204P1","price":14.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 gram caddy","offer_id":56422145229180,"sku":"1204T2","price":30.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 gram packet","offer_id":56422145261948,"sku":"1204P2","price":27.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/6691\/9292\/files\/Black-Assam-Mangalam-3_775b5147-13e2-4f55-884f-1207e265f18b.jpg?v=1772290212"},{"product_id":"assam-organic-tea-jamguri-tgfop1","title":"Assam organic tea Jamguri TGFOP1","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eAssam Jamguri organic tea TGFOP1: loose leaf Assam.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eHas a good malty richness with a certain cocoa aroma without excessive body.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eThe richness of this high-grade Assam makes it ideal at breakfast.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\t\u003cli\u003eLocated in the Golaghat District of Upper Assam.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAssam organic tea Jamguri TGFOP1: produced in the Golaghat District of Assam.\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eAssam organic tea Jamguri TGFOP1 has a good malty richness with a certain cocoa aroma without excessive body.
