Assam Heritage Irtolehti

The monsoon-season character really comes through—it’s stronger than my usual daily brew, yet the smoothness keeps it from turning harsh. I’ve been drinking it black every morning and that subtle sweetness at the end is a nice touch.

That malty sweetness is exactly what I get from the first steep, and it holds up strong through a second pot without turning bitter. The monsoon-grown character really comes through in that deep, smooth body.

That malty sweetness the description mentions really comes through, especially in the second and third steeps. It’s strong enough for a morning wake-up but smooth enough that I don’t need milk. My new everyday black tea.
