Discovered this at the Lakewood store and I've been ordering it shipped to Arizona ever since. The Assam TGFOP is consistently excellent. Beautiful bold aroma when you open the bag.

My grandmother got me into tea and she would approve of this one. The Assam TGFOP has that old-world quality — full-bodied and robust in perfect harmony. This is what tea should taste like.

This Assam TGFOP convinced my coffee-drinking husband to switch to tea in the afternoons. The robust flavor is rich enough to satisfy but clean enough to feel restorative. We order 2 pounds at a time now.

Good tea, just a touch bold for my taste. That said, the malty notes are genuine and the leaves are clearly high quality. I'd buy another variety from Contour Coffee.
