Description

This Assam tea displays a full body alongside striking spicy characteristics.

Situated in north-eastern India, Assam has earned international acclaim for its black tea production. The Brahmaputra river flows through this productive valley, supplying nourishment to the Assamica tea plants. During the nineteenth century, Major Robert Bruce discovered the Camellia sinensis assamica variety in this region, establishing its legacy for creating teas with a pronounced spicy aroma and forceful tannic composition.

An excellent choice to accompany your morning meal.
