Default Assam Tea Company?

I have purchased from them once. I thought the prices were quite
reasonable, the tea fresh, and I enjoyed several of their higher-end
Assams, especially "Cream of Assam, #510" and "Satrupa Golden Pekoe".
I didn't as much care for "Kama Black 'Extra Large Leaf Black Tea' "
but the large leaves were stunning to look at and the tea was very
acceptable. I didn't try any organics. None of the four were the
"knock your socks off" Assam I would like to find some day, but no one
else seems to have that mythical tea either.

Curious about it as an oddity, a group of us shared some of their
"Koucha," a "Japanese Broken Leaf Black Tea," that was really very
nice. I never imagined that any blacks came out of Japan, especially
not of such high quality. Today I don't find it on their website
(which is irritatingly difficult to navigate), but it may just be
evading me.
