Assam, Kachibari Village

As featured on NPR's Morning Edition!

This tea is from the Kachibari Village in northeastern India's Assam, one of the largest black tea production regions in the world. An unusual find from the area, this Assam highlights the passion of the producer Tenzing on his small organic farm: He has taken a lead in making tea without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. The hand-picked leaves have a sweet, deeply fruity aroma; the flavor is bold but balanced, with notes of malt, black currant and molasses, and soothing hints of dark chocolate on subsequent steepings. It maintains a beautiful roundness throughout your drinking session, showing its skillful production.

Assam is one of the teas traditionally used in breakfast blends; try this single estate version to experience the nuanced taste of this lush region.
