This loose leaf tea is a perfect example of the beautifully made authentic Assam black tea with large leaves and an abundance of golden tips. The flavour is deliciously malty, rich and spicy and gives a dark amber infusion. A great breakfast tea, the brew can be enjoyed with milk and sugar per your personal preference. Assam tea , most of which is grown at or near sea level, is known for its body, briskness, malty flavor, and strong, bright color. Assam teas, or blends containing Assam, makes a great "breakfast" tea.
Assam
The state of Assam is the largest tea-growing region in the world. This part of India experiences high precipitation during the monsoon period, with as much as 10 to 12 inches (250-300 mm) of rain per day. The daytime temperature rises to about 103F (40°C), creating greenhouse-like conditions of extreme humidity and heat. This tropical climate contributes to Assam's unique malty taste, a feature for which its teas are well known.
