White Assam
Fragrance notes
Bohdidharma brings a crisp tea opening that meets bright Sicilian bergamot, giving the first moments a clean, aromatic lift. The jasmine heart sits lightly rather than dominating, allowing the citrus to linger while a green thread runs through the center. This stage feels airy and polished, moving with a soft floral touch that never turns heavy or cloying.
The drydown is where White Assam settles into its true character. Cedar provides a dry, woody foundation while nutmeg and cardamom bring a warm spicy presence that feels rounded and comforting. The spices do not bite. They blend into a powdery finish that retains the aromatic quality of the earlier tea, creating a smooth transition from fresh to woody. Michael Boadi composed a blend that keeps the spices gentle, letting the cedar anchor the base without losing the initial brightness.
This suits someone who enjoys tea scents with a spicy, woody backbone and a polished white floral touch. It works well in cooler weather and during evening hours when warm spices feel appropriate. Those who dislike powdery finishes or prefer sharp citrus without a woody base should look elsewhere. The overall impression is fresh spicy and woody with a lasting floral accent.
