The region of Assam is the largest tea-producing region in the world and home to some of the best black teas from India. It lies 120 miles East of Darjeeling (a high elevation tea growing area), and borders with China, Burma, and Bangladesh. Malty Assam is produced from a distinct tea varietal growing in Assam called Camellia Assamica, a larger leafed tea plant. Assam black teas often undergo special processing to bring out their full-bodied, rich undertones. After the newly sprouted leaves have been plucked, they are withered over warm air for a few hours to reduce moisture. Once a suitable suppleness is achieved in the leaves, a delicate rolling of the leaves is performed. The leaves begin to oxidize (change color from green to dark) and the flavor develops. Finally, the leaves are oven baked.
I bought the Malty Assam Black Tea from The Tao of Tea, and it's been fantastic in the mornings. The loose leaf gives a rich, smooth taste that really wakes me up. I love the packaging too, the tins are well designed and keep the tea fresh!

Nice tea, but not my favorite
The quality of this Assam black tea is good, but I found it to be a bit too malty for my taste. I prefer something a little less intense. Still, it brews nicely and the packaging is great. Just not my top choice.

Disappointed with delivery time
The tea itself is decent, but I was frustrated with how long it took to arrive. It took over a week. The tins are nice and the tea has a nice malty flavor, but I expected it sooner.

Solid choice, but can be strong
I enjoy this black tea, but it can sometimes be overpowering if you steep it too long. I usually go for 3 minutes, and it's just right. The loose leaves are a fun change from bagged tea, but watch the steeping time!

Not great, sadly
I was really looking forward to trying this Malty Assam tea, but unfortunately, it had a bit of a stale taste when it arrived. I think it might have been improperly sealed, which is a bummer because I love black tea. Wouldn't buy again.
