Full Description
Believe it or not, for all the different varieties of tea there are only two different types of tea plant – one of which originates in Assam, the Camellia assamica.
Our signature loose Assam has a small neat leaf with plenty of golden “tip”: in other words, the best part of the bush. Rolled in the traditional manner for that authentic Assam taste, it's brilliant at breakfast with a splash of milk.

NUMEROLOGY
The lush lowlands down by the Brahmaputra River are home to hundreds of tea gardens: 765, to be precise.
INDIA
Tea plantations were first introduced to India by the British in the 19th century, after Robert Fortune stole Chinese tea cuttings to plant in the Himalayan region of Darjeeling. Today Indian tea is some of the most famous in the world: it's also home to Assam tea, found growing wild there by the Scottish explorer Robert Bruce.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
