Assam Golden Tip

Black teas from India’s Assam region are some of the most popular in the West, and deservedly so—their round and comforting flavor is what many of us seek in a breakfast tea.

This stellar, unblended lot from the organic Chardwar Estate will open your eyes at any time of the day: rich, malty and biscuity in the cup, an aroma of sweet grain harmonizes with deep, smooth notes of molasses and honey. Its full texture, which coats the palate, is a result of carefully tended plants and full oxidation of the leaves during processing; the abundant golden buds show the high-quality hand plucking.
