Assam Black Tea
(Latin Name: Camellia sinensis var. assamica)
Size: 8oz Bag
Brief History & Origin
Assam Black Tea comes from the lush, rain-drenched valleys of Assam, India, where ancient tea trees once grew wild along the Brahmaputra River.
Discovered by the local Singpho tribe long before British colonists turned it into a global commodity, Assam tea carries both the shadow of colonial trade and the resilience of native wisdom. It is known for its bold, malty flavor—a tea of strength, used historically to awaken the senses and prepare the body for work or meditation at dawn.
