Scotch and Abram's Assam is a single origin loose leaf tea sourced from the renowned estates of the Assam Valley in northeast India - the region responsible for the deep, malty character that defines most British and Irish breakfast blends. This is that character on its own, undiluted. The leaves are graded TGFOP - Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe - one of the highest grades in Assam, indicating whole leaves with golden tips that produce a naturally sweet, refined cup. Full-bodied, malty, and smooth with a naturally sweet finish that you don't get from a lower grade Assam. Deep amber in the cup, bold enough to cut through milk without losing character, refined enough to drink black. The kind of Assam that rewards attention. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk. Assam is built for it - though the TGFOP grade is worth trying black first. How does it compare? Similar to Taylors Assam Similar to Darvilles Royalty Assam Similar to Brodies Assam Taylors, Darvilles, and Brodies all carry single origin Assam teas worth comparing - each blender handles the same origin differently, and the TGFOP grade in ours brings a natural sweetness that separates it from standard Assam blends.
