(TGFOP) Abundance of rare golden tips creates a lighter, more fragrant version of the traditional hearty Assam from the Doomni Estate. Very malty.
Deep, rich flavor distinguishes our Doomni Estate Golden Tipped Assam. Like all fine Assams, it features a unique maltiness. The attractive and abundant golden tips come from the many tiny fresh tips plucked when the tea is most tender and which turn a distinctive gold color during the fermentation process.
This is an excellent tea to drink in the morning. Try it with a bit of milk for a different taste experience. The flavor is very smooth with no harshness -- it's hard to imagine a better way to start the day.
The Assam valley in India is 120 miles to the east of Darjeeling and on the border of China, Burma and Bangladesh.
The upper Assam valley is the largest tea producing area in the world and contains over 2,000 tea gardens. The rugged Brahmaputra River bisects the valley and floods every year during the monsoon season when the heat and humidity turn the entire region into a giant greenhouse. It's a challenging environment due to the rough weather and flooding, but it's a splendid place to grow tea.
The climate, the soil, and the genetic make-up of this native variety of tea plants give Assam teas their characteristic full-bodied strong taste and dark liquor.
