Tea was first grown in Assam when the British brought tea seeds from China. To break the Chinese monopoly over the tea industry, the British decided to use India as a base for the export of teas. The teas from Assam slowly gained popularity and have become one of the most exported teas. The strong, robust flavour along with the beautiful amber liquor has made Assam tea one of the favourites among tea connoisseurs. Popularly known for its bold black teas, there are a few gardens that produce green teas as well. Some of the popular Assam teas on The Tea Trove available on theteatrove.com are: Assam Green Tea: Grown in the Brahmaputra river valley, this is a non-fermented, organic green tea from Assam. Notes of roasted legume and grass can be relished throughout the cup profile of this tea. Being an organic tea, the liquor is seemingly delicate in look and texture. The taste is marginally astringent, noticeably roasted and grassy in mouth feel – typical of an Assam green tea. Assam Black Tea: This naturally sweet tea with a malty body is an extra strong blend of superior organic and Fair Trade black teas from Assam India. It's a perfect tea for an English breakfast. The beautiful appearance of the dry leaves is accentuated with the accompanying sweet flowery aroma. The light golden colour hue in the liquor captures the attention quite vividly. It ticks all the checkboxes for a great first flush Assam tea. Assam Orthodox Teas are rolled with machinery in a manner that mimics hand-rolling.
