NEW DAY ASSAM
£6.50
New Day Assam is a classic morning tea; rich, malty and full-bodied enough to be drunk with milk. It's carefully hand crafted by a small family-owned farm located in Assam, using all natural agricultural techniques. This “tippy” tea, featuring a mix of of dark wiry leaves and golden tips, brews a deep copper colour with notes of plum, fig and chocolate.
Harvest: June 2022
🌱 HOW IT'S MADE
Our New Day Assam is entirely handpicked, and hand-rolled. Mechanical dryers are only used at the very end of the process for the final fixing and drying so that the tea can be stored. Leaves are carefully plucked by hand before being left to wither in large hammock like nets strung outside the factory. It is then entirely hand rolled before being left to oxidise on cloths and finally finished in the drying machines. In a region that produces predominantly commercial machine-made tea, finding a truly handmade tea like this is rare.
