Top quality Assam tea is prized for its rich, full-bodied flavour and distinctive malty character. Grown in the Assam region of India, this tea thrives in the area’s warm climate and fertile soil, producing a bold, satisfying cup.
When brewed, Assam yields a deep coppery liquor with a robust aroma and notes of malt, earth and gentle sweetness. Naturally high in caffeine, it makes an excellent morning tea and is particularly well suited to drinking with milk, where its strength and depth really shine.
Often used as the backbone of classic breakfast blends, fine Assam is typically made from large, well-crafted leaves, sometimes tipped with golden buds that add complexity and smoothness. Its versatility, strength and unmistakable character make it a favourite for everyday drinking as well as a cornerstone of traditional tea blends.
