assam tea

Origin: Assam is a region in NE India where wild Indian tea was first discovered in 1823 and where the first tea outside of China was commercially produced. Grown along the Brahmaputra river, Assam tea is of high quality even though it is not high-grown. Assam is one of the highest-producing tea regions thanks to it’s long growing season and high rainfall.

How to Enjoy: Assam is a robust tea and is considered a “morning tea”. It is often an ingredient in breakfast blends such as Irish Breakfast. Assam tea holds up well to the addition of milk and also makes a flavorful iced tea.
