Assam Mangalam SFTGFOP1

Region: located in the Nagaland foothills region of Assam barely 20 miles from the Myanmar border.

Mangalam Tea Estate is a relatively young tea garden established in 1973 to produce high quality teas from new Assamica hybrids planted very closely together to enhance tip production.  Both fine CTC and orthodox leaf types are manufactured.  Our Assam Mangalam SFTGFOP1 is a carefully processed tea with large leaves and lots of golden tips.

Leaf: black with even style and a sprinkling of silver and golden tip

Infusion – visual: chocolate brown, broken pieces but bright and even

Infusion – aroma: sweet and fruity – full of fresh tea character

Liquor – visual: bright clear deep red cup.  Good colour when milked

Liquor – taste: a typical robust but smooth malty, biscuit taste with a pleasant brisk aftertaste.  Eminently drinkable with or without milk.

Summary: this tea is a fine Assam and worthy of the name and reputation.

Now in fully biodegrable pouches.
