Magnificent Mile

As a lover of Assam tea, Im always on the lookout for a quality Assam with just the right amount of malt flavor with the mild woody notes and caramel finish. So when I discovered Magnificent Mile, Broook37s only Assam offering, I thought I would try it. Not fully expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. After all, this was earlier in 2023 when I was starting to delve into Brook 37s teas and hadnt yet become a tried and true believer in the quality and elegance of this brand like I am today. Today Im just a die hard supporter. This Assam tea is cultivated in upper Assam with rolled and twisted orthodox golden tips that is offered in biodegradable tea bags. Tea bags that allow the leaves to fully unfurl and steep to offer one of the best quality Assam teas out there. This lovely magical brew steeps to a beautiful caramel brown color and its malt is very apparent from your first sip. It is a rich silky tea that represents its name well, with the malt mingling nicely with undertones of the woody notes and finishing with a nice caramel like finish. The tea is more delicate than other Assam blends I have tried, but it did hold up to the addition of milk and sugar. However I found my preference leaned towards enjoying the blend on its own where every sip can be truly appreciated. This is a cup that you want to sip slowly and enjoy. From its truly outstanding packaging to its high end quality, this is a tea that defines magnificence by a mile.

The fog here has finally lifted, and now its time to help lift the fog in my brain. Trying a new to me tea from Brook37 Tea Atelier seems the way to go. Magnificient Mile is a very nice example of what good tea from Assam tastes like. Its got a nice malty flavour with a somewhat caramel aftertaste to me. I tasted plain and it was very nice, but a bit of sugar and milk made it perfect to me, as helping to accentuate the existing malt and caramel notes. A beautiful tea deserves a beautiful cup, and Pembroke by Aynsley fits that bill.

I usually avoid Assam teas because I've never found one I liked. Until now. This tea is woody and robust, but refreshing, with a slight astringency. I rarely enjoy black tea without sweetener, but this one shines on its own.

This tea is a rich Assam that is so delicious, it certainly lives up to its name, it is magnificent. I didnt think tea bags could be this good. It has changed my mind forever.
