Assam Melody

I'm just finishing a cup of Assam Melody and I must say, wow, what a great unique taste. It tastes completely different from other black teas. It's as if there's some type of herb blended in here, but Assam Melody is not a blend right? Could be wrong though. How is Assam Harmony compared to it?

In my opinion Assam Melody is stronger and maltier than Assam Harmony. It has more of the flavor that I look for in an Assam. It is also strong enough to mix with Ceylon and somertimes keymun to make your own Irish or English Breakfast Tea.

I have heard it stated and I would agree that Assam tea alone, can be a bit one dimential, but I do like it by itself on occasion.
