This is one of the best Assam teas 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.

Infusion: Deep, glowing russet-ruby

Aroma: Bright, sweet and harmonious, hinting at raspberry leaf and citrus peel, toasted buckwheat and cream

Taste: Balanced, deep and harmonious flavours combining subtle red fruits, fired leaf and toasted grains.  The tannins are subtle and coaxing, giving a rounded and complex texture
