A finely cut black tea with the classic Assam flavor. Brews into a bold but well-balanced cup. Grown at low elevation, with abundant rainfall and high humidity. This results in robust, malty teas. Assam Pekoe is crafted from tea leaves harvested by hand from Camellia sinensis assamica (large-leaf) bushes. Unlike many other tea pickers in Assam, who focus on quantity rather than quality, the pluckers at Heritage Tea Assam are well-versed in good plucking standards, grows with locally-sourced vermicompost, and is completely chemical-free.
