Indigenous to Assam in India, Assam tea is manufactured specifically from the plant Camellia sinensis var. assamica. Assam tea is mostly grown at or near sea level and is known for its body, briskness, malty flavour. It has a strong, bright colour. Assam Irish breakfast teas are known as a maltier and stronger breakfast tea and consists of small-sized Assam tea leaves.
Black Tea, like white and green tea, is made from the plant “Camellia sinensis”, and after picking the leaves are dried and then undergo oxidation, where enzymes are released that change the color and flavor of the leaves. Black teas take on a reddish to brownish hue when brewed. The flavours of black tea are more pronounced and fuller, and can include profiles like roasted, tannic, smooth, or biting.
