Assam tea is a black tea produced in the Assam region of India, known for its robust flavor and rich, malty taste. It is one of the most popular teas globally and is often used in blends like English Breakfast. The region's unique climate and rich soil contribute to the tea's distinctive characteristics. Assam tea is typically grown at lower altitudes, resulting in a strong, bold cup that is usually enjoyed with milk and sugar. It is harvested during two main seasons: the first flush in spring and the second flush in summer, with the latter producing the most flavorful leaves. In addition to its taste, Assam tea is known for its high caffeine content and health benefits, including antioxidants that may support heart health and improve digestion.
