A rich, full-bodied black tea with strength, depth, and a smooth finish.
The Experience
Grown in the lush, lowland plains of India’s famed Assam Valley, this traditional CTC (cut, tear, curl) black tea delivers a cup that is both powerful and deeply satisfying. Known for its brisk character and bold flavor, Assam tea has long been the backbone of hearty breakfast blends worldwide.
Crafted in the classic CTC style, the leaves are processed into small pellets that infuse quickly, producing a striking amber liquor with remarkable depth. The result is an energizing, espresso-like tea—robust enough to take milk and sugar, yet smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
