Detailed Description

In the northeastern state of Assam in India, along the Brahmaputra River grow the hearty, malty Assam teas. The heavy rainfall and hot, humid day time temperatures in this area create the perfect green house like environment for growth, as well as helping to create the unique taste found only in Assam teas. Their distinct flavor can be enjoyed "as is"; however, Assam teas are often used in conjunction with other teas to create numerous blends, specifically breakfast teas.

The Belseri Tea Estate is actually made up of the Belseri and Chardwar Tea gardens, which have 1500 acres under cultivation. This tea estate is one of the largest organic tea producers in northern Assam. The tea has medium-black leaves that brew into a bright amber cup. The taste has a creamy, malty, well-balanced cup.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Assam teas complement foods such as chocolate, spiced desserts, meat, strong cheeses, fish and more.

This is my go to tea to get up to in the morning. It's a bold cup and it's very refreshing.

	Excellent Assam, with or without milk	12/31/2017
This Assam is a delightful tea. Remarkably, I have been enjoying it without added milk which is a compliment to the tea that lacks any harshness or excessive astringency found in cheaper teas. Highly enjoyable!

	ASSAM!	12/11/2016
Great Assam. Both malty and astringent in just the right measure. It is not overpowering, and it does not play hide and seek. This one runs neck and neck with the Harmutty.

	Belseri is a good organic choice	6/14/2016
We are Assam tea snobs and when our first choice Rembeng Estate was out of stock we were guided toward this lovely tea. It has a very clean and distinct Assam flavor and is a great tea when you want a full flavored cup of tea to put milk and sugar in. We will be ordering this tea again.

	Classic and Exceptional Assam.	2/9/2016
This Assam is the real deal, Assam Belseri is a truly classic Assam. Its full-bodied, rich , mellow, smooth and very malty. If you need a good morning wake up call this is a tea to try. Usually I drink Assams with nothing added and this one is excellent plain. Its also excellent with a splash of 1/2 and 1/2 because the deep malty flavor isnt diluted. There are some undertones that I caught on my second cup - perhaps a hint of walnut and hints of the stewed fruit my mom used to make in the winter. My mom, the tea drinker, had a rule about not using milk in afternoon tea. Sorry mom! I am breaking her rule with this tea because its the perfect afternoon before the commute pick me up with a splash of 1/2 and 1/2. If organic is important to you then look up the Belseri estate. Their growing practices are impressive and they have several organic certifications.
