2nd Flush, Assam-Golaghat region, India. Assams are noted for their ‘malty’ flavor, and Hunwal is nothing if not malty. It is a ‘broken orange pekoe’, so it has small leaves that steep a strong brew quickly. Beyond the maltiness is a rich sweetness with flourishes of cocao thrown in for good measure.

This Assam certainly pulls no punches, being a 2nd flush. I didn’t notice much astringency in my cup, probably owing to it being a 2nd flush.
A word of caution, make sure you don’t oversteep the tea, which can happen quickly since it’s a broken orange pekoe.
I would say if you’re looking for a strong, classic Assam this is a great choice!
