Assam Black - Organic
This tea originates in the family-run estate of Tonganagaon, in the Brahmaputra Valley, Assam - a tropical monsoon climate, with high humidity and heavy rainfall providing the ideal environment for the growth of the tea bushes. The leaves are harvested from mature tea bushes and processed using traditional methods that preserve their natural flavour, aroma, and health benefits. The resulting tea is a rich, full-bodied blend with a malty flavour profile, a deep amber colour, and a robust aroma that will awaken your senses.

Assam tea is known for its strong, full-bodied flavour and robust, malty taste. The tea is characterised by its rich, dark leaves and strong aroma. When brewed, Assam tea has a deep reddish-brown colour and a robust, slightly bitter flavour with hints of sweetness and astringency. It is often described as having a "malty" taste, with notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit. Assam tea is known for its high levels of caffeine, making it a popular choice for early-morning tea drinkers - and is a brilliant option as a ‘Breakfast Tea.’

In addition to providing a burst of energy, regular consumption of Assam tea has been associated with several health benefits, offered by the anti-oxidants, polyphenols, and tannins that are present in Assam tea.
