Description
Assam Mangalam tea: a quality clonal.
This Assam Mangalam tea has an enthusiastic following and originates from Nagaland province, near to where tea was first found to be growing wild back in the nineteenth century. This tippy, Assam Mangalam tea is a high-grade SFTGFOP1 picking. It is bright, rich and has a full bodied maltiness and sufficient astringency to enable it to take milk well. A really great breakfast tea. Use one teaspoon per cup plus one for the pot and infuse for four minutes.

Hello! It is this Mangalam (the fourth in a row) that I liked the most so far.
CHRIS –
It is a classic of its type, great on the nose and malty to taste.
CHRIS HOLLICK –
An excellent Assam, with all the classic notes. Malty, creamy with perhaps a hint of vanilla
Peter Rawcliffe –
Not cheap (though Grey’s price is the by far the best I have found) but you really do get what you pay for with Assam Mangalam. It’s a smooth, very tasty tea, I brew it for 3 minutes. Delicious.
CHRIS HOLLICK –
A rich creaminess evident. Smooth on the palate. Quality tea.

The Assam Mangalam is a really great Assam. Manages to be strong and tasty without being tannic. Could not beat Grey’s price on this.
