Black tea Assam Orthodox

Assam Orthodox Black Tea is a classic Indian tea made using the traditional method of rolling whole leaves. Assam grows in the valley of the river of the same name in India and is famous for its rich flavor, deep red-amber infusion and natural astringency.

Its aroma is deep, warm, with malty notes, and its taste is full-bodied, with a slight honeyiness. This tea is perfect for a refreshing start to the day or as a base for a spiced masala chai.

How did Indian tea get to Europe?

Until the mid-19th century, tea was considered an exclusively Chinese product. However, British colonialists, seeking to reduce dependence on China, began to look for new regions for tea cultivation. In 1823, wild tea bushes were discovered in Assam. Soon, India became the main exporter of black tea to Europe. Assamese tea quickly gained popularity due to its strength and ability to be combined with milk - a favorite form of tea drinking in Britain.
