Assam BOP black tea: a rich and full-bodied taste, perfect for morning drinking
Grown in the Brahmaputra Valley, only the last two leaves of the tea plant are picked. The "Broken Orange Pekoe" grade means they are smaller and broken. The orange color refers to the Dutch royal family Nassau, the first tea importers in Europe. The valley's climate (tropical with heavy rainfall, high humidity, and extreme temperatures) gives a malty taste and unique note to these black teas. Earl Grey is made with Assam tea.
The benefits and virtues of Assam BOP black tea
More oxidized than green teas, black teas can be kept for several years and contain more theine. Thanks to their antioxidants, their infusions are beneficial for health: cardiovascular system, blood circulation or fighting cell aging. Moreover, Assam black tea, rich in tannins, has a longer stimulating effect than coffee. Additionally, since tea leaves are not washed, choosing an organic product guarantees healthy nutrition and respect for the environment.
Our tasting tips
How to prepare Assam BOP black tea?
The preparation of black tea infusions is personal and unique. It relies on a delicate balance between properties and flavors. Three criteria go into tea preparation: method, temperature, and steeping time (depending on tea varieties and leaf cut).
How much Assam BOP black tea to use?
One teaspoon per cup (or 13 grams per liter) preserves the complete and balanced flavors and aromas of this beverage. Three cups per day allow you to benefit from all its advantages and virtues.
What is the ideal steeping temperature for Assam BOP black tea?
Like all black teas, this product should be prepared at a temperature of 95 to 100°C, with steeping times between 3 and 5 minutes. Beyond that, the tea will tend to become astringent and bitter.
When to drink Assam BOP black tea?
With a full-bodied taste more pronounced than Chinese black tea, organic Assam tea is best enjoyed in the morning to start the day well. A beverage with character, it can be consumed plain, with milk, or cream.
What are the advantages of loose Assam BOP black tea?
Loose organic tea is authentic. Of very high quality, the black teas from the Rembeng plantation preserve all the flavor of the leaves and their origin. Stored in airtight and opaque containers, protected from light, air, and moisture, our Assam tea will offer you bright and invigorating infusions. Its fragrance and flavor, spicy but without harshness, are more refined loose than in tea bags.
Why buy your Assam BOP black tea from Thés & Traditions?
