Assam vs. Ceylon Breakfast Tea: What’s The Difference?

Assam vs. Ceylon Breakfast Tea: What’s The Difference?

Embark on a journey with JING Tea as we explore two distinct types of breakfast teas: Assam and Ceylon. Both offer rich and invigorating experiences that awaken the senses, but each carries its unique charm and flavour profile.

Assam Breakfast Tea: The Heart of Indian Boldness

Situated in the lush northeastern region of India, Assam is famed for its robust teas.

• Flavour Profile: Assam breakfast tea is known for its deep, malty character, with hints of honey and dark chocolate. Its full-bodied strength makes it a favourite for those who enjoy a hearty cup.
• Origin: The tea gardens of Assam benefit from the tropical monsoon climate, which imparts the rich, malty notes characteristic of this region's teas.
• Experience: Whether enjoyed plain or with a splash of milk, Assam is the quintessential morning infusion, offering the boldness necessary to start the day.

Ceylon Breakfast Tea: The Elegance of Sri Lankan Heights

Hailing from the lush hills of Sri Lanka, Ceylon tea presents a different, more refined breakfast experience.

• Flavour Profile: Known for its bright and brisk quality, Ceylon breakfast tea features a medium body with citrusy and floral notes that provide a refreshing lift.
• Origin: Grown at varying altitudes, Ceylon tea showcases a diverse range of flavours, yet consistently offers a clear, smooth cup that delights the palate.
• Experience: Best enjoyed without milk to appreciate its delicate complexities, Ceylon tea is perfect for those who prefer a lighter, more nuanced cup in the morning.
