I just saw this tea at my local ethnic market, but I'm puzzled as to what it is. Anybody has any idea what type of tea or quality I might expect from it?
Thanks

Its actually pretty good Assam from India.
If it says Barooti, then its broken leaf quality Assam. That usually means its good for a quick and strong brew.
If it says Kalami, then its TGFOP quality Assam. A bit more flavorful then the previous one and not as strong, but still a bold Assam.
I actually find these Assam's to be very flavorful and bold Assam's. Good if you're on a budget and enjoy multiple cups of black tea daily.
