I switched from standard tea bags and the difference is obvious — you can actually see whole leaves unfurling in the pyramid bags. The second-flush Assam gives it that malty, brisk body that holds up well with a splash of milk in the morning.

The whole leaf second-flush leaves steep into something properly malty and rich, way better than the dusty broken stuff I used to keep in the cupboard. I noticed the pyramid bags give the leaves room to open up, and you can actually see the full pieces through the mesh.

The pyramid bags let the whole leaf unfurl properly, and you can taste the difference — malty and rich without any bitterness. Second flush really is the way to go for Assam.
