Piramidi di Seta dell'Upper Assam

These pyramids are so convenient compared to loose leaf, and the whole leaf quality really shows in how the cup settles. The liquor is smooth and malty with just a hint of that boldness Assam is known for, no bitterness even if I walk away for a minute. A box like this won't last me long.

The second-flush leaves brew up dark and malty, exactly what I wanted for my afternoon cup. Whole leaf in the pyramid really makes a difference—no dust, just a rich Assam taste that holds up even after a few steeps.

The pyramids are so generously filled with whole leaves that the pot keeps giving even after three steeps. That second-flush richness comes through with a proper malty depth, a real treat for slow mornings.
