Loose Black Assam Teas |
|
Assam - Located in northeast India, it is the home of the tiger and one-horned rhino. It is also the largest tea growing region in the world producing more than 1,500,000 pounds annually. The golden tip present in Assam tea tends to lessen the astringent characteristic of the tea and make it sweet and smooth. Therefore, Assam tea can be rich, hearty, full-bodied teas with a cup color ranging from golden amber to deep, copper red. The better varieties have the sought-after malty aroma. Assams are excellent morning teas.
