This is one of the best Assam we tasted this year. Composed of whole black leaf and a huge proportion of golden tips. For the dedicated Assam connoisseur.

Selected from many Assam teas produced on the Greenwood estate for their richness and sweetness. Assams from Greenwood are famous for their bright coppery infusions, prominent maltiness and pungent taste.

Greenwood estate is monitored by the Ethical Tea Partnership, working towards a responsible tea industry.
