Organic Assam Tea

What is Organic Assam Tea?

Organic Assam tea is a type of black tea that is produced in the lush Assam Valley in India. The tea leaves are carefully oxidized to produce a rich dark color with a strong and distinct black tea flavor. It also has a light caramel and malt note that adds depth and complexity to the character. This tea is known for its high caffeine content and, when prepared correctly with just a touch of milk, produces a deep golden drink with the perfect balance of flavors. When brewing an organic Assam tea, it is recommended to use water with a temperature between 200°F and 212°F to bring out the full flavor profile. Depending on the desired intensity, the tea leaves should steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Organic Assam tea is not only popular for its taste, it also has many health benefits. The high levels of antioxidants, polyphenolic compounds, and caffeine in this tea may help reduce inflammation, protect against chronic disease, and even improve heart health. 

History of Assam Tea

The history of Assam tea dates back to the 19th century, when the British East India Company came across the “Assam variety” of tea leaves growing in India’s Assam Valley. Assam black tea was immediately popular in Britain because of its distinct malt flavor and pleasantness with a drop of milk. The caramel flavor and strong aroma of black tea have made it a favorite among tea drinkers around the world. The quality of Assam tea has also enjoyed great popularity in India because its high caffeine content makes it a good alternative to coffee. Over time, due to the larger leaves, it offered more health benefits than regular black tea, including promoting heart health and aiding digestion. Assam Tea's unique taste, rich aroma and caffeine content ensure that it remains one of the most popular teas in the world. Adding a touch of milk to your Assam tea will bring out the flavor of black tea and give you a truly authentic cup.

To enhance the flavor, you can add a splash of milk. Organic Assam tea has many health benefits thanks to its high content of antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals. One cup of this tea can help improve concentration and attention. It also contains amino acids that can improve digestion and boost metabolism. Additionally, the antioxidants in organic Assam tea help reduce the harmful effects of free radicals. Since it is a natural product, it can be consumed as a daily drink.
