Taiwanese Assam Black Tea 200 グラム

Our Taiwanese Assam Black Tea comes from the lush mountains of Nantou, Taiwan, where the unique climate and rich soil give this tea its exceptional character. Originally a classic variety from India, the Assam cultivar has adapted beautifully to Taiwan’s environment. Grown at higher elevations with plenty of sunlight and a wide day-night temperature difference, the leaves develop a rich, layered flavor profile that sets it apart from other black teas.

The dry leaves are tightly twisted and dark with a glossy sheen. Once brewed, the liquor reveals a deep amber-red color that is both bright and inviting. The aroma carries natural notes of malt sweetness and a subtle hint of honey. On the palate, the tea is full-bodied yet smooth, with no bitterness or astringency. It finishes with a lingering, pleasant sweetness that keeps you coming back for more.

Compared to traditional Indian Assam, the Taiwanese version is gentler and more refined. It’s less sharp, offering instead a mellow and naturally sweet experience. This tea is versatile—enjoy it hot or cold, plain or with a splash of milk. It also makes a wonderful base for a rich, creamy Taiwanese milk tea.

This tea is perfect for black tea lovers seeking a bold yet balanced flavor, and it reflects both the heritage of Assam and the elegance of Taiwan’s tea craftsmanship. Whether for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift, our Taiwanese Assam Black Tea is a delicious and memorable choice.
