Tonganagaon epitomizes the flavors of full-leaf Assams, with bright, grainy aromas and brisk malt flavors. Where it strays from the norm is in its sweet notes, which carry more of an earthy, light sweet note as if you were chewing on a cane sugar root.

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
Not as robust as my usual morning tea (Elaine's Blend or Palm Court preferred), but with a subtle sweetness that gives it a welcome richness. I like the variegated appearance of the leaves, with the strands of lighter brown mixed in. I usually add milk, but enjoy it without as well.
I bought this on a whim along with some Darjeeling and Ceylon teas. On its own its a mildly flavored full-bodied tea. But, I add a little to my Darjeeling or Ceylon teas and it gives a little extra body to the brew, bingo! Just how I like it, and I can kid myself I'm a fancy tea blender ;)
