The golden tips brew up into a really smooth cup, much less bitter than the supermarket bags I used to buy. I've been drinking it every morning this week and it holds up fine with a splash of milk.

The golden tips in these leaves really are something—the liquor comes out bright and smooth with none of that bitter edge you get from cheaper bags. I've been starting every morning with a pot of this and the Assam character comes through perfectly strong without needing to overshoot on steep time.

Steeped this for exactly four minutes and the liquor came out a deep, rich amber—those clean, well-sized leaves really do hold up. It’s got that proper Assamese malty kick that makes a morning cup feel substantial, not watery. I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week.
