ASSAM RIVER FORTRESS BLACK TEA

When looking for great Assam tea we expect to find teas with great body and aroma. This is no exception, it yields a complex infusion supported by a malty, rich body, with hints of caramel, cinnamon, raisin, apricot, nougat, candied orange peel and molasses. The fine, wiry leaf is flecked with muted gold tips. We buy from Assam's top gardens and the name of this season's tea can be found on our website. The picturesque gardens are located on the North Bank of the mighty Brahmaputra River at 1000 feet above mean sea level and bordered by the hills of Arunachal Pradesh to the North, while the river Ranga forms the eastern boundary. High-quality clones like N436, P126 and S3A3 give these teas the unique quality that has been recognized over the years by institutions like the Tea Board of India and other excellence awards. The gardens are FSSC 22000, Rainforest Alliance and Ethical Tea partnership certified. OR53DEJOO
