ASSAM TEA

Country of Origin: India
Region: Assam
Manufacture Type: Orthodox | Loose Leaf
Picking Time: Summer 2017
Ingredients: Luxury blended black tea with whole spices

Get ready for a total rarity: a really good flavored tea! The dry tea is a blend of Assam orthodox leaves and various Indian spices-- cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, cloves, ginger and black pepper. The tea contains broken pieces of spices as opposed to flavoring oils. A sight to behold! And an aroma that will transfer you to an Indian kitchen!

The aroma of brewed cup is enticing, with all spices mingling in total harmony. The taste... as a wise man said, the taste of the pudding is in the eating! This tea is a visual delight, an aromatic journey and a perfectly balanced flavorful cup for spiced tea lovers!

Steeping:  For an authentic preparation we recommend using 2-3 teaspoons (~ 3g) of tea and a cup of water (8 oz), brought to a first boil and simmered for 3 minutes. Then add 4-6 oz milk to the saucepan and sugar to taste, bring it back to a boil and simmer for another 3 minutes. If using honey (in pace of sugar), add it at the end. 

**For lighter Steeping:  Bring a cup of water (8 ounces / 240 ml) to a full, rolling boil and pour over 2 teaspoonful of tea mix. Brew for 4-5 minutes. Add milk and/or honey as per taste.

*** If you don’t have a thermometer handy to measure your water temperature, don’t worry! Here is an eye guide--

180° F / 82° C   = bubbles form on the bottom of the pot 

195° F / 90° C  = the first bubbles begin to rise 

212° F  / 100° C  = full rolling boil

Packing : We send our teas in a resealable kraft paper zip-lock stand-up pack with food-grade aluminum foil lining. We recommend storing your tea in this supplied bag away from direct sunlight or moisture. We do not recommend keeping the teas in fridge.
