A pleasant highland black tea from the hills of Meghalaya. The tightly rolled dark brown leaves produce an amber color liquor with a smoky burnt sugar taste. The fresh highland air infuses with the tea leaves giving them a refined taste with some astringency to the mouthfeel.

Umsning Highland Black is made from a blend of Assamica and Darjeeling varietals grown in the border villages between Assam and Meghalaya. The prolonged roasting using indigenous local wood gives a fruity and smoky aroma to the dry and wet leaves. Due to the presence of Assam cultivar the liquor has a robust and enhanced malty taste.
