The Aadi blend is characterized by its Earthiness and Robust Body. Unlike the Vitality blend, which is spice-forward, Aadi focuses on the deep, malty notes of the tea leaf itself.
Aroma: It has a "damp-earth" and floral scent typical of high-grade Assam CTC mixed with Orthodox leaves.
Taste: A strong, brisk taste that is designed to "stand up" to milk. It has a slightly astringent finish that is balanced by a natural sweetness.
Color: It produces a deep, dark golden-brown liquor.
Core Ingredients
While the Vitality blend uses a wide array of medicinal herbs, the Aadi blend uses a more "minimalist" approach to ingredients, focusing on:
Premium Assam CTC: Provides the base strength and texture.
Orthodox Long Leaves: Added for aroma and to provide a smoother, less bitter finish.
