Brisk, bold, and pure, we grew this organic Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe Assam Tea on our family tea estate, Chota Tingrai (27.458869 N, 95.354856 E). This tea is excellent for waking you in the morning or replacing your afternoon cup of coffee.
In this bag, you find no fillers or dust. Instead you meet a mix of pure whole leaf black and aureate tea leaves. The gold leaves you see are the fabled tips of Assam. Prized for their complexity of scent and flavor, you will rarely find tips of these length and frequency.
Upon brewing, you smell dates, almonds, and parsley as the liquor blooms a dark rosy red. You can watch the golden tips unfurl. As you take your first sip of the tea, you meet a flawlessly smooth balance of malt and sweet. While you can add milk and sugar, the honey after-taste will try to dissuade you.
As you savour each drop, you can taste the rich, healthy earth of Assam and the warm, happy pride of the women who plucked the leaf.
We nurture every plant with 100% organic compost made on our estate. We pluck and process every batch of leaf to meet the highest health and safety standards. Every buy contributes towards our social mission of improving living and working conditions of tea workers and small growers in India.
This resealable pouch is filled with 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of this best of Assam whole leaf tea. It is enough to make 50 cups. We love this tea, the land we grew it on, and the people with whom we grew it. We know you will love it too.
In the Global Tea Championship 2017, this tea placed the top of the Assam Tea category under Chota Tingrai Tea Estate's name.
