Assam tea

Assam tea, a black tea made in India to enjoy at the start of the day

Located on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, between Tibet and Burma,The Assam region is among the largest producing regions of Camellia sinensis in the world.It therefore gives its name to the black tea produced there, which is particularly appreciated for its strong and invigorating flavors.

In India, and particularly in the heart of Assam, the cultivation of organic and conventionally grown tea plants and the production of exceptional spices are a source of local and national pride. Now appreciated beyond the country's borders, Assam black tea contributes significantly to the international renown of its region of origin.

Made with the greatest respect for artisanal methods,Assam tea is produced from whole leaves that are hand-picked. These then go through different stages, namely withering, rolling and oxidation, in order to give birth to an authentic black tea that meets all the requirements. While Darjeeling tea is grown at high altitudes, Assam tea comes from low altitude production, which allows each Indian tea to fully assert its singularity.

With its full-bodied aroma, Assam black tea is ideal for breakfast cravings. For added sweetness, some also serve it with a dash of milk, similar to an English breakfast.
