Our Premium Taiwanese Assam Upgrade is grown in the Yu Chi region in Nantou county. This tea comes from a tea farming family that has a small, labor intensive operation that takes time to prepare the tea and is AAA graded. Assam bushes were brought to Taiwan in the early twentieth century but have since been refined by the Taiwan Research and Extension Station. The Premium Taiwanese Assam Upgrade is very smooth and incredibly silky with baked bread, raw cacao, sweet tobacco, and citrus notes. Fruity notes linger and leave a pleasant astringency. We recommend the upgraded version for those who want a strong cup of tea and a bit of a wake up.
Recommended Brew Time: 4 minutes
Recommended Amount: 1 tablespoon of tea for 8oz of water
Recommended Temperature: 212 F (boiling)
