Assam Breakfast Black Tea

Black Tea by Jing Tea

Assam is the world’s largest tea growing region. This is where Assam bush, Camellia sinensis assamica, was discovered in 1823. Assam tea is low-grown and holds a reputation as the strongest, full-bodied tea to be found.

Appearance: Deep copper-walnut leaf scattered with russet tip

Infusion: Deep ebony-walnut, with faint green hue to rim.

Aroma: Comforting and full, tangy and malty, with an almost treacly, raisiny depth for extra nourishment

Taste: Statuesque and broad, with plenty of grip and structure and rich finishing flavours of malt

a depressing boring saterday afternoon with don’t ask me why toughts off my grandmother that passed away a few years ago, actualy i’m taking a trip down memory lane today and i picked a strong malty assam the kind off punch i need today to get going and keep going…

Well the tea taste malty and strong just like i want my assam long story short a simple tea with no explanation required! Brewed it for 3min at boiling temp :)

Needed a very strong cup this afternoon so i took this assam… i needed a strong cup because off the very sad news i received just a few hours ago my grandfather died at the age off 90 years old. Don’t know why i’m making a tasting note for this tea with all this sad news i received but i guess i needed to type away my sadness a bit… thinking that i’m still a bit shocked even tough we knew it could happen because he was going up and down a lot last couple days/weeks…

anyway typing this down just took away my thoughts for a few moments!

Malt, honey, smoothness. A very satisfying breakfast blend with a robust character.
