Assam Black Tea Procured by Golden Tips Tea in Record Deal
Assam black tea leaves are all the rage – and for good reason. Unlike conventional black tea with its overpowering flavour, Assam black tea has a flavour that is tastefully appetizing and visually appealing. It has tones of caramelized orange zest with bits of chocolate. Almost like eating a sponge cake coated with brown sugar. The taste evolves with the longer you brew it, going from roasted almonds to having an earthy aroma with a tinge.
Assam tea has a colour that varies from light to bright brownish orange that gives off hints of mandarin that may slightly tickle the eyes. The organic tea leaves are full-bodied, malty, and well-balanced.
One of the characteristic traits of Assam Black tea is being easily blendable because of a strong base and brisk finish. You can blend the tea with ease. Be careful not to over brew the tea because it could lose its taste and smell. These include English breakfast tea and Irish breakfast tea. Assam black tea contains a modest amount of caffeine content that helps one improve mental clarity and awaken their senses.
You can combine the tea with ingredients including mushroom risotto, crème Brulee, potato gratin, and even chocolate mousse. Upon the reaction of the released enzymes with the ambient oxygen, Assam black tea turns colour into black or brown leaves. A tea specialist closely monitors the oxidation process and decides when it is time to move to the next process.
Assam black tea plants share similar properties with the Camellia sinensis varieties that produce oolong, green, and white teas. These plants are grown near rivers and sea level since and grow best in tropical regions.
Once the Assam tea leaves reach the desired oxidation levels, they are then dried to prevent further oxidation of the leaves. Various methods of drying the leaves include using pan-firing, steaming, or using hot air.
