Being the largest tea growing region in the world, Assam tea thrives in a warm, wet climate where the terrain is at sea level. The low altitudes and fertile valley of loamy soil and ample rainfall create a perfect setting for Assam tea and contribute to its rich malty flavour.

Types of Assam Tea

Assam Black Tea

Made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, Assam black tea is heavily oxidised as compared to Assam green tea. Hence it has a deep aroma, and is full-bodied with a malty flavour, brisk taste and rich colour. Assam black tea is also called English breakfast tea, Irish breakfast tea, etc. You can also find Assam black tea blends with different tea leaves that include Assam tea.

Assam Green Tea

The green tea from the tea plantations of Assam spells flavours of grassy herbs that offer a full-bodied cup. The tasting notes are vegetal in the first sip, yet; they are short-lived and fade quickly before rendering a smooth finish. However, this is an excellent choice if you love the pleasant flavours and antioxidant-rich Assam tea.
