Reviews for Assam Extra Fancy

This tea is an incredible example of the amazing textures tea can have. It's very powerful, deep and intense in its mouth presence, with an astringency very crisp and no-nonsense. But that astringency is very mature and experienced: it makes its impact to open your eyes, and then smoothly fades away. What''s left is a sweet, malty honey texture and a sensation not unlike a big red wine. Your mouth will literally be humming from this tea! Do not be afraid to make it strong!

I have enjoyed Assam tea above all others for years. But, when I first tasted Peet's Assam Extra Fancy, (thanks to a friend who found it on a trip to San Francisco) I tasted the best of the best Assam tea! Wonderful flavor. I will be ordering more soon.

I make functional stoneware pottery, and one of the joys of the craft is to be able to make satisfying tea mugs. During the last few years I found out how much I like tea, especially in a favorite mug, and after sampling many, many varieites, your Assan Extra Fancy is THE tea that completes the pleasure - intense, crisp and full flavor, color and aroma.
