Mokalbari East Assam

$17.00

Meet Mokalbari East Assam, a TGFOP1 second flush black tea from the renowned Mokalbari estate in Assam, India. It greets you with a lively, malty backbone softened by subtle fruity and honeyed notes, a richness that feels comforting rather than heavy. The cup is bright and full bodied, with a clean finish that often reveals delicate cocoa and gentle spice on the sidelines.

This Assam holds up well to milk and sweetener, making it a natural choice for breakfast, but it is equally enjoyable plain if you prefer to taste the tea on its own. Its balance and approachable strength make it a great daily tea, and it blends easily with other breakfast blends if you want to build a custom morning cup.

If you are exploring estate teas, Mokalbari East Assam is a lovely example of second flush Assam character: malty, rounded, and consistently satisfying. It’s a go-to when you want a dependable, flavorful black tea from a respected Indian garden.

Customer Reviews

Mokalbari East Assam is widely praised as a smooth, malty yet bright black tea with comforting earthy, subtle spicy/chocolate notes that hold up well to milk and sweeteners—making it a favorite for breakfast or afternoon cups. Reviewers call it full-bodied and good value for daily drinking, though several recommend using a touch more leaf than the package suggests if you prefer a stronger brew.

Mokalbari East Assam

I wish I could award this 4.5 stars, as it’s got flavor notes and quality I like, but it tastes a little weak to me if I make it as instructed. I prefer the teaspoon to a 6oz cup of water ratio, or adding about half a teaspoon more if making an. 8oz serving.
I enjoy this tea hot with milk and sugar. It has some malty notes (not heavy), seemed well-balanced, and holds up to additions.

My Favorite Assam

I prefer Assam teas and have tried a lot of them. I first got the Mokalbari East Estate Assam as a sample from another vender. It was then sold out. I found The Whistling Kettle site and bought a quantity.
I am not very good with distinguishing different tasting notes, but I do get a rich malty taste, and a hint of chocolate with a nice, subtle spicy finish.
This is my favorite Assam, and I will always try to keep this one around.

Good tea

Very good tasting tea loved every cupful will buy again.

Yum

Amazing tea. Best with milk and sugar.

Favorite Black Tea

This tea has changed my perspective of all black teas. It is remarkably rich with a comforting earthy flavor. Any other black tea simply fails in comparison. I crave it, and when I cannot have it daily, I miss it!
