About the tea
Assam Golden Broken Orange Pekoe is a robust and flavorful black tea renowned for its rich, malty taste and brisk character. Grown in the fertile plains of Assam, India, this tea is a true testament to the region’s unique terroir.
The term “golden” refers to the presence of numerous golden tips in the tea leaves. These delicate, young buds are prized for their sweetness and contribute to the tea’s overall complexity. “Broken” indicates that the tea leaves have been broken into smaller pieces during processing, a process which increases the surface area of the leaves, allowing for faster infusion and a more concentrated brew.
Assam, a northeastern state in India, is one of the world’s leading tea-producing regions. Its unique climate, characterized by abundant rainfall and fertile soil, provides ideal conditions for cultivating tea plants. The region’s tea gardens, often sprawling across vast landscapes, produce a wide range of black teas, including the celebrated Assam Golden Broken Orange Pekoe.
It can be enjoyed black or with milk and sugar, making it a versatile choice for any time of day.
