Gourmet Tea Varieties - Assam Tea

The Assam tea region is located to the far North East of India along the Burmese border. This is the land of the one-horned rhino, the land through which the mighty river Brahmaputra winds its majestic course. Assam is rich with nature's bounty and a rainfall ranging from 200 to 300 cms - a bounty that ensures a very special place for the teas grown here.

The Assam Region produces more tea than any other in India. Assam teas are know for their strong, full, rich, full-bodied, pungent and sometimes malty bright liquor flavor. They are particularly popular as a tea to drink with breakfast in the morning.
