Cindy’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "While Assam Marangi is tasty in a travel mug on the way to work, it really deserves to be savored in a proper tea cup! This tea is delicious alone, but is nothing short of delightful with a bit of cream and sugar!"

9/10
Until recently, most of the black teas I had experience with were blends. While I found some more appealing to me more than others, I wasn't really able to ascertain which additions to the blend made them so. Then I started experimenting a bit with individual black teas and quickly found that Assam tends to be my favorite. Having come to that realization, I was really looking forward to reviewing Teagschwendner Assam Marangi. The teas I have sampled from Teagschwendner thus far have all been of the highest quality.The dry tea consists of a mixture of black and gold thin, wiry leaves. The aroma, though lighter than I expected, reminds me vaguely of a tobacco that my grandfather used to smoke in his pipe. While I am generally thrown into uncontrollable fits of sneezing and watery eyes when I am in close proximity to smoke, there was something strangely comforting about Grandpa's pipe smoke. This tea invokes the same comfortable feelings. This Assam possesses a generous maltiness that manages to add to both the strength and the smoothness of the cup. This isn't the type of tea that jolts you into your morning, but rather it offers a gentle nudge. There was no indication of the bitterness that can sometimes accompany black tea. While Assam Marangi is tasty in a travel mug on the way to work, it really deserves to be savored in a proper tea cup! This tea is delicious alone, but is nothing short of delightful with a bit of cream and sugar!
