Strong Assam

Our Organic Strong Assam Tea is a premium black tea sourced from the renowned Assam region of India, celebrated for its bold flavor and robust character. This Assam GBOP (Golden Broken Orange Pekoe) stands out with its distinctive golden tips—young, tender buds that enhance the tea's superior quality and appearance.
The term "Broken" signifies that the leaves are broken into smaller pieces, which allows for a quicker infusion and stronger flavor extraction compared to whole leaf teas. Graded meticulously based on leaf particle size, Assam GBOP features smaller leaves than TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe), yet it delivers a full-bodied cup with rich, malty notes and the characteristic briskness that Assam teas are famous for.
When brewed, our Organic Strong Assam Tea produces a deep amber liquor with a robust aroma and a bold, malty flavor profile. It can be enjoyed with or without milk and sugar, offering a versatile option for tea enthusiasts seeking a satisfying and invigorating cup.

The Assam region is unique in that it is the only area in the world, besides China, that has its own native tea plant variety, Camellia sinensis var. assamica. This variety thrives in Assam's tropical climate, characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity. The region's long growing season, coupled with its fertile alluvial soil, produces tea leaves with a distinctive malty flavor and deep, rich color.

The commitment to organic farming in Assam ensures that these natural advantages are preserved. Organic Assam tea is cultivated without synthetic chemicals, allowing the true character of the tea to shine through. This not only results in a healthier, more flavorful tea but also protects the environment and supports the livelihoods of local farmers who are dedicated to sustainable practices.

By choosing Organic Assam tea, you are savoring a cup of tea that is deeply rooted in tradition, nurtured by nature, and crafted with care for future generations.

Of course, we cannot blame you if you’ve made the same mistake as many and assumed that Orange Pekoe is a flavor of tea. Something about it just sounds exotic and delicious, doesn’t it? But we’re here to tell you that that’s actually not the case: Orange Pekoe is in fact a grade of tea, a way to tell how good one tea is from the other based on the leaves themselves.
