Characteristics of Yantra Assam Thai Black Tea
Leaf Appearance and Aroma:
The dry leaves are tightly rolled, with dark hues suggestive of their strong oxidation. They exude warm, comforting aromas reminiscent of oat cookies, roasted grains, and freshly baked bread crust.
When heated, the leaves release deeper notes of chocolate, praline, and nougat, creating a rich and inviting bouquet. Once infused, the wet leaves continue to deliver these praline-like aromas, with the addition of subtle fruity hints, such as dried plums.
Flavor Profile:
This tea brews into a bold and syrupy infusion with a pronounced sweetness balanced by a touch of bitterness. The dominant flavor notes include chocolate and praline, supported by roasted grain, oat cookies, and bread crust.
Hints of plum and nutty undertones emerge mid-sip, while the finish lingers with caramelized sweetness and a satisfying roasty warmth. Its thick, syrupy consistency enhances the tea’s strong body, making it both energizing and indulgent.
