Bold malty Assam-led blend. Built to be drunk with milk. The kind of cup you make without thinking — and finish without thinking either.

Malt, milk, finished. The mug doesn't ask for a second thought. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
