Description

Black tea from the Assam region of India. Assam tea brews up a burgundy-red cup with rich aroma and strong malty taste. The latter makes Assam an ideal breakfast-time tea. Our 'Assam Harmony' is an outstanding second-flush (summer) clonal tea from Mangalam, arguably the finest estate in the Assam region.

Story

Assam is the world's largest tea-growing region, lying on either side of the Brahmaputra River, and bordering Bangladesh and Burma (Myanmar). This part of India experiences high precipitation; during the monsoon period as much as 10 to 12 inches of rain per day. The daytime temperature rises to about 103F, creating greenhouse-like conditions of extreme humidity and heat. This tropical climate contributes to Assam's unique malty taste, a feature for which this tea is well known.

"Assam Harmony – A very nice black tea. I was able to get some very nice flavors over a couple steeps. The color of the brewed tea was very nice and the smell was great. I think I’m going to do the Pepsi Challenge between this tea and the Assam Melody, I’m ordering a pound of the winner, but they’re both great black teas to have on hand. "

"This tea is wonderful! It is the perfect wake-up tea with its hearty flavor and beautiful red color. Watch the brew time as this tea can get bitter if brewed too long."

"Very good black tea. In the evenings I like to mix it with a little bit of peppermint."
