Assam Black Tea
$8.00
Assam Tea is grown in lower elevations than most teas in the famed Assam Region in Northeastern India. Only the flowery leaf from the very tip of the branch is harvested to deliver the highest graded quality possible.
Our Assam Tea is hand harvested in May and June to allow the tea leaves to develop golden-colored tips that produce a sweeter, spicy and malty flavor. No aromatic oils. Just pure Assam Black Tea.

Add to sauces, rubs, and marinades for grilling. Pairs well with other strong spice flavors, such as garlic and chili peppers.

He was skilled at grinding mustard seeds into powder without releasing the oils which when evaporated cause the mustard flavor to fade away.
