Why Assam Tea? The Story Behind the Tea in Your Cup
A great cup of tea begins long before the water reaches a boil.
It begins with where the tea grows.
In northeastern India, Assam's tea-growing regions stretch across the plains surrounding the Brahmaputra. The combination of fertile soil, abundant rainfall and a warm, humid climate creates conditions that have made Assam one of the world's most important tea-growing regions. Tea Board India describes Assam tea as known for its strong, brisk and malty character, with a rich, deep-amber liquor.
But Assam tea isn't just one kind of tea.
There is the strong, familiar CTC tea that forms the foundation of everyday Indian chai. And there is Orthodox tea, where the leaf is handled differently to create another kind of tea experience.
So, what makes Assam Tea special?
Let's start at the beginning.
