Borengajuli Estate produces the most fabulous teas. This 2nd Flush, FBOP grade Assam is no exception and comes to you as fresh as the day it was plucked! Vacuumed packed on the estate the moment the tea leaves come out the sorter, the deep malted Assam flavour is captured and the flavour retained to taste just as it should.
It took over 10 years for Assam tea to be classified and accepted as tea. You can find out more in our article at the Tea Hub: History Of Tea in Assam

Not just as standard Assam
Being quite partial to Assam, we found this one a little out of the ordinary. While it has the usual robust "malty" taste, on a longer brewing it develops a bit more astringency than normal with an Assam, but without too much tannin. We find it therefore makes a fine afternoon pick-me-up, though you may wish to use a shorter brewing time if you're looking for the more classic mellow taste.
