Golden Assam Black Tea

Our golden Assam is a favourite of both customers and employees. The golden Assam is a wonderful mix of older leaves and young golden buds. The tea is prized for its rich, sweet and malty flavour. This tea hails from the beautiful Assam region located in North east India. This region is known for its hot temperatures and high humidity, making it the perfect location for producing tea. This full bodied tea is sweet with subtle tropical fruit undertones and a honey-like, almost caramel malty finish.

Region: Assam, India.
