Assam tea

Assam tea, grown in the Assam region of north-east India, is known for its rich and robust flavour profile. The region, which has a hot and humid climate with heavy monsoon rains, offers ideal conditions for growing this full-blooded black tea. Traditionally, tea from Assam has its roots in the British tradition of dark, powerful teas, especially adapted to be drunk with milk, and sometimes spiced with Indian flavours to create the classic masala chai. Assam tea is often an important component of breakfast tea blends such as English Breakfast because of its strong, malty flavour that goes well with milk and sugar. In Assam, we work closely with skilled tea masters on farms who create teas with a classic black character, but also explore unique nuances and flavours. These artisanal teas offer a variety of flavour experiences, from the typically robust and full-bodied character to more subtle and floral undertones brought out through careful processing. Whether you prefer your tea strong and rich or with a softer flavour, the Assam region offers a diversity of teas to suit every taste. With its intense and rich profile, Assam tea is an ideal choice for those seeking a classic tea experience with a modern twist.
