Assam Tea Origin & Craftsmanship

Assam, in north-eastern India, is the home of Assam tea, produced from the broad leaf assamica variety of the Camellia sinensis plant. The region’s heavy rainfall, warm temperatures and fertile floodplains help develop the deep, malty profile that distinguishes Assam black tea from lighter, high grown styles.

Every lot chosen for this blend is selected for aroma, structure and consistency, then blended in small batches for dependable flavour and freshness.
