Black Tea

Located in northeast India, the Assam Valley lies 120 miles east of Darjeeling on the border with China, Burma and Bangladesh. There are some absolutely outstanding teas grown in this region, which produces more than 1,500,000 pounds of tea annually.

Assam tea has a first and second flush. The first flush has a rich, hearty, full-bodied flavor and aroma. The second flush produces the famous "tippy" teas (black tea with golden tips). The golden tip lessens the astringent characteristics of the tea. Assam teas can have a malty aroma, with a slight sweet, honey fragrance. They are excellent morning teas, which can often be enhanced with the addition of milk.

Budlabeta / BPS-CTC "(Assam)"

This Budlabeta CTC (cut, tear & curl) is one of the heartiest, most robust teas available. The curled deep brown leaves brew a rich, malty cup, with a slight chocolatey note and a natural sweetness.

There are no disappointments with this superior Amgooeie CTC. Great with a splash of milk and/or sugar.

Dejoo-0611 / STGFOP "(Assam)"

A full-bodied, malty Assam with a definite fruity, sweet note and a fragrance similar to sweet autumn apples. The Dejoo Estate is among the top 10 estates in the Assam growing region. The origin of the “Dejoo” name is a mystery. It may have originated from a Nepal word meaning “brother”. This Dejoo tea is full of golden tips and produces a rich red liquor. The flavour is very smooth and sweet on its own, but strong enough to take the addition of milk and/or sugar. An excellent morning or afternoon tea.

Nestling in the foothills of the Himalayan range, Darjeeling grows this exclusive tea at altitudes ranging from 600 to 2,000 meters. Unlike other tea regions, which are lower in altitude and closer to the equator, Darjeeling has a very limited harvest period. The cool and moist climate, the soil, the rainfall and the sloping terrain all combine to give Darjeeling its unique "Muscatel" flavor and exquisite bouquet. Over the years this fine, delicately flavored tea has acquired the reputation as being the "Champagne of Teas."

Darjeeling Margaret’s Hope

FTGFOP 1

(Chinese Hybrid tea plants): A superb second flush Margaret’s Hope with lots of golden tips and a hint of green. The bouquet in the cup is sweet and the colour is a rich, clear red. The liquor flavour is complex, ranging from “nutty” to fruity sweet or characteristic “muscatel”, with a pleasant, astringent after note. As the tea cools the sweetness becomes the predominate note. This tea is both smooth and bold. It’s excellent on its own and can also stand up to milk and/or sugar. A great tea to serve with desserts. If you enjoy Darjeeling, this Margaret’s Hope is one not to be missed.

Sorry Out Of Stock

The teas of Sri Lanka, the Paradise Island in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India, are still called after their colonial name, Ceylon. The temperate climate and cool mountainous regions are perfect growing conditions for tea, which accounts for why Sri Lanka produces 25% of the world's production of tea. This island produces 600,000 tons of tea annually.

Ceylon teas are divided into high, medium and low grown. The high grown are of the very best quality and when coupled with specific times of year they can be outstanding.
