This tea, like a proper Highlander, is robust, malty and full of life and vigor. Highlanders liked their tea very strong and insisted on hints of cask oak which was reminiscent of their special elixir - single malt Scotch. This blend consists of 2nd Flush Assam tea which is thick and robust with malty hints; January production South Indian tea which is high mountain grown and has wonderful flavour notes which serve to accentuate the Assam; Keemun Panda #1 which has a delicious winey character - further enhancing the malt flavour; and Chingwo County Orange Pekoe which gives the distinct oaky character. This tea is especially delicious with milk which increases the malty character further and highlights the brightness of this premium tea.
