About Assam English Breakfast Silk Teabags
Our Assam English Breakfast encapsulates a pure expression of Assam with rich flavour, comforting notes of malt, and hints of barley. Our blend is made from GFBOP quality broken leaves (i.e. high-quality buds and tips), resulting in a tea with clear flavour and a wonderful depth. Packed into bio silk teabags, the leaves have plenty of space to move and infuse. Each teabag is packed into sealed sachets that preserve the teas freshness.
About Assam
Assam is in northeastern India and is one of the seven sister states, connected to the rest of the country by a narrow corridor. Known for its lush tea gardens and humid, tropical climate, Assam offers ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The region produces some of the strongest and maltiest black teas in the world, often with undertones of dried fruit, biscuit, and a touch of golden honey.
Cultivation
Our Assam English Breakfast is blended from tea gardens throughout the region. The tea plants thrive in the flat, fertile plains of Assam, nourished by the floodwaters of the Brahmaputra River. This unique terroir, combined with the expertise of local tea farmers, results in a tea of exceptional quality and taste.
Effects
Assam tea has a stimulating effect, improving concentration and aiding digestion, making it a popular after-dinner digestif. Rich in antioxidants, black tea fights free radicals and supports cell health. It also contains vitamin B1, essential for the nervous system, and moderate amounts of caffeine, which can boost physical and mental performance. The polyphenols in the tea also help support the immune system.
How to enjoy
Our Assam breakfast tea is designed to stimulate your senses in the morning and energize you for the day ahead. Enjoy it with milk and sugar to soften the rich, full-bodied taste. It's a fantastic alternative to traditional English breakfast tea. Pair with hearty breakfasts that include eggs and toast.
