Assam SFTGFOP 1 Tonganagaon: a rare tea with delicate flavor

The best black tea varieties are Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri teas from India, Keemun and Yunnan from China, or Ceylon from Sri Lanka. Assam tea has the strongest taste and is often used as a base for Earl Grey preparation. The SFTGFOP grade of Tonganagaon organic Assam tea is superior to TGFOP or FTGFOP grades and indicates that the selected leaves are premium quality. Brown with golden tips, they come from the first spring harvest (first flush) and give mahogany and copper color notes. The flavor of this organic tea, known for its full-bodied character, is a balanced blend of spices and honey.

Our tasting tips

How to prepare Assam black tea

Black tea embodies a multitude of flavors and perfumed tastes (spicy, fruity, smoky, etc.). To preserve these properties, you can choose a superior quality organic tea, preferably loose leaf.

How much Assam black tea?

Like other black teas in our selection, the recommended amount of organic Assam tea is 12 to 15 grams per liter. The 50-gram packaging thus allows you to prepare more than 20 cups of tea.

What is the ideal steeping temperature for Assam black tea?

Assam tea preparation is ideally made with low mineral water (filtered or bottled water) at a temperature of 95°C or 100°C. The recommended steeping time is 3 to 5 minutes, but can vary according to your preferences.

When to drink Assam black tea?

Organic black tea from Tonganagaon is an ideal morning beverage and can be enjoyed plain or with a splash of milk. A delicious cup of this organic tea in the morning heralds a beautiful day marked by health and nature!

The advantages of loose SFTGFOP Assam black tea

Since tea leaves are not washed before drying, organic farming preserves the ancestral methods of harvesting and manufacturing while protecting our health and biodiversity. Whether black, white, green or rooibos, infusions of loose tea packaged in ziplock bags or metal boxes preserve its rich, flavored or perfumed taste and its distinctive notes.
