Green Bean Co - Assam Golden Tips - 4oz
Assam is a black tea named after the region of its production: Assam, India. This tea grown at sea level is known for its body, briskness, malty flavor, and strong, bright color. Assams are excellent, stimulating morning teas that will often be enhanced by the addition of milk.
This particular Assam is a beautiful flowery, tippy golden broken leaf (FTGB) Assam that is full-bodied with deep, moderately malty flavor. It has a complex, rare cocoa flavor and perfumed fruit notes make it a great value.
Tippy refers to black tea with gold tips or what appears to be golden-colored leaf. The amount of tip will vary dependent upon where in Assam the estate from which the tea comes is located. The golden tip present in Assam tea, tends to lessen the astringent characteristic of the tea and make it sweet and smooth. Therefore, Assam tea can be malty, sweet AND smooth, which are qualities enjoyed by all tea drinkers.
Recommendations: Use 1 level tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh water to a roaring steep for 2-3 min. Try with milk and rock sugar.
