This one was a very nice surprise! I ordered some random black teas to immerse myself some more, and this is the best tea to wake up to. Super drinkable, light caramel and tobacco notes and quite strong too

Malty aromatics hover over a sultry tobacco and vanilla cup character. The weighty body has a slippery texture that brings just enough astringency to keep it clean and dignified. The dry, un-ripened fruit in the finish is superb.
Cigar Box is a blend of TGFOP leaf grade from the Chota Tingrai Estate and a FTGFOP1 leaf grade from the Mangalam Estate, Assam, India in the summer of 2025.

I drink a lot of high grade Assam teas. This is one of the best I've tried recently. Very full body, a hint of chocolate and tobacco but not overwhelming. Strong, dark, just what an Assam should be. Very fine and few twigs.
This Assam is simply the best I’ve ever had! I wasn’t sure which blacks to get so I ordered a couple different ones and the quality and taste of the tea is spot on tobacco and caramel,with a wonderful mouth feel. LOVE IT! My new fave Assam for sure!
This is hands down the best black tea I think I've had - definitely the best Assam. It's medium to heavy body, a presence you can hold. Tobacco and vanilla are absolutely present in a very smooth, reformed way. The aroma is thick and pungent. The color, a deep red brown. I really hope they bring this back. And if they do - don't hesitate.
