A delicious black tea from Assam that delivers a very smooth, bright coppery cup with a malty flavour.
This is an ideal breakfast tea and often you will find Assam leaf forming part of a traditional English Breakfast blend as it does for us. Assam tea makes a great base tea for your own batch of masala chai (spiced tea), see our recipe here.
Ingredients: Black Tea from India
Additional Notes:
This popular Stir Tea is from a tea garden located in Upper Assam in the north eastern province of Assam, India. This country produces around 980 million kgs of tea per year and is the second biggest tea exporter, second to China.
This tea growing region experiences very high rainfall and extreme temperatures - this greenhouse-like combination of humidity and heat provide the perfect tea growing conditions. The harvest season on this tea garden runs from March to November.
