The dry tea smells a little bit of alcohol and a little like licorice allsorts. The leaves are fairly entire and whole dried cornflowers are scattered throughout. The brewed tea smells indistictly sweet and actually a little bit more of cocoa and cream than vanilla. The Tea
tastes slightly creamy with slightly bitter base . This assam has dark
chocolate notes and it blends with the vanilla to taste like some lightly flavoured chocolate desert flavoured with vanilla. The body of the tea was a little bit thinner than I'd expect with an assam, and the finish wasn't as smooth as I may like, but is still pleasant to drink. Tea resteeps decently well, but tastes more of cocoa than vanilla.
