This is a simple review.
Assam has always been one of my favorite teas. It has what feel is a strong, smokey and malty flavor. It’s a unique flavor and usually best if blended, but I’ve often brewed it alone – even with it’s unique taste.
However… this Assam totally amazed me!!!!
Yes, the flavor of Assam, but more clean and smooth than any Assam I have ever tasted!
What Two Leaves and a Bud says about their Assam:
Assam Tea is famous for its lush flavor and golden color. Rich brown and golden tipped leaves yield a distinguished multi-layered “malty” flavor. two leaves and a bud has chosen a traditional, orthodox full leaf tea. Full bodied, deep gold in color, Assam tea is the perfect breakfast tea. The region of Assam in north-east India, is the oldest of India’s tea growing regions.; where low, rolling hills create a great environment for a rich tea. Hot days combined with cool nights bring out the fullest flavor.
I love that this tea is Organic. And hold onto those words – clean… smooth… fresh… as you look at and consider where you will buy your Assam! This is the best I’ve ever had!

"Dear Tea Guru, Hi, my name is Travis and I do some of the promotions for Tipu’s Chai. To answer your question, yes, we do use the same spices in our instant chai tea as we do in our slow brewed chai. The reason for this is the very same one that you mentioned. When you discover the perfect chai flavor, why change it? Thanks for your..."

"Hector: I agree, you do NOT need to strain their instant chai, however this is a review of their SLOW BREW chai, which does require straining as the spices are not as refined in the slow brew mix

"Tea Guru, Straining Tipu’s isn’t necessarily necessary. I leave the instant mix in and just don’t drink the settled stuff on the bottom (or sometimes I do depending on the “kick” I’m seeking). Either way, it’s a great cup of chai!"
