Assam – Ethelwold Estate TGFOP, Organic – WS

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 Ethelwold tea estate is located along the banks of the majestic Brahmaputra River in the district of Dibrugarh, in Upper Assam.  This estate focuses on sustainability and community development.  As the story goes, the Ethelwold Estate was named after the daughter, Ethel, of the original British tea planter.  This TGFOP tea brews to a full-bodied amber cup with a creamy texture and a malty flavor with a slightly spicy aftertaste.

Brew tea at 212º – steep for 3 minutes.

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