Assam Black Tea – Mokalbari Estate – Loose Leaf from India – Fusion Teas

The Assam Tea Experience: world domination Assam tea gardens were planted around the height of the British empire. The boldness and strength of that era are carried through in Assam teas like ours to this very day. Tasting Notes: malty, bold, spicy In general, Assam teas are prized for their powerful, malty flavors. Our single-estate Assam tea delivers with a deep, bittersweet, malt-heavy aroma and flavor, balanced with hints of spice (think: cardamom) and fruit (think: apple). Ingredients: Black tea from the Mokalbari estate in Assam, India Savoring Your Experience: Assam tea has abundant tannins. Tannins are a naturally occurring compound in many black teas, and they give it the briskness that you’d find in most English tea and Irish tea blends. It’s this briskness makes Assam tea ideal for rounding out with a bit of milk and sugar. So if you like milk and sugar in your tea, carry on and enjoy our Assam! Assam tea is traditionally paired with hearty breakfasts and rich afternoon tea fare in England, and is often used in iced teas and “bubble teas” in Taiwan. Unlike teabags of English tea blends and Irish tea blends, our Assam can be enjoyed for three infusions. Re-steep as desired! Fun Facts: The vast majority of Assam teas are produced for teabags or for a low-grade tea known as CTC tea. However, a few estates make limited runs of so-called “orthodox teas” like this one. Mokalbari (where our single-estate Assam tea was grown) is one such estate. Those who are familiar with single-estate Indian teas may notice that “bari” is a popular sound in estate names. “Bari” means farm, garden or grove, and the name Mokalbari refers to the grove of thick-trunked bamboo trees that was on the land prior to the tea garden’s planting back in 1876.

Honey Black Formosa Black Loose Leaf Tea – Fusion Teas

The Honey Black Tea Experience: Luxurious This ultra-smooth classic black tea from Taiwan offers an exceptional flavor of floral and malty notes with a hint of honeyed sweetness. Osmanthus notes come forward. This complex flavor is created naturally, with no honey or honey flavor added. There is a delicate earthy quality to this fully-oxidized black tea and it just may remind you of an oolong. It mellows further as it cools and we suggest a second steeping. Tasting Notes: malty, floral, velvety smooth The dry leaf is narrow, dark, and superbly twisted, some with copper-colored tips. The infusion produces a rich, shining dark amber cup. There is a hint of dark chocolate in the aroma of the dry leaf, then when steeped aroma becomes more malty and earthy. This exceptional tea hails from the Hualien district on the eastern coast of Taiwan. The tea is produced in the summertime when the young tea leaves are bitten at by small indigenous grasshoppers. This action curls the leaf tips and stops their growth. During this, the grasshoppers’ saliva initiates a reaction with the plant the creates a slightly honey-like flavor. Ingredients: Luxurious and rare black tea from the east coast of Taiwan Savoring Your Experience: This special tea would be a perfect first cup in the morning or pick-me-up in the afternoon. This tea will appeal to many palates. At first, brew with suggested water temperature and steeping time, then experiment and see how you best enjoy this superior black tea. Fun Facts: Hualien, in the East Rift Valley, is the last so-called untouched land in Taiwan. Settlers to Taiwan from China brought a complex tea culture, which has been layered upon by the Japanese and further developed by the west, including Portuguese explorers who called the island Formosa. The tea plantations there help to create Taiwan’s intricate, social tea culture.
