Taylors of Harrogate has been blending tea in Yorkshire since 1886 and remains an independent family company to this day. Their Assam is 100% single origin black tea from the Brahmaputra Valley in northeast India - the most productive tea growing region in the world and the source of the deep, malty character that defines most British and Irish breakfast blends. Taylors picks their leaves at peak season for the strongest, most distinctive Assam character. Rainforest Alliance certified. Carbon neutral certified. Individually wrapped. Full-bodied, strong, and deeply malty with a brisk, invigorating finish. Naturally higher in caffeine than most black teas, which makes this a genuine morning tea for those who need their cup to do some work. Best with milk, which softens the intensity without losing the flavour. If you enjoy Taylors Assam, our Scotch and Abram's Assam is our take on that same bold, single origin malty character - TGFOP grade loose leaf, pure Assam, nothing held back. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes to let the full Assam character develop. Add milk. This tea is built for it. Don't over-steep - beyond 5 minutes it will turn bitter. How does it compare? Similar to Darvilles Royalty Assam Similar to Brodies Assam Similar strength: Barry's Master Blend Darvilles and Brodies are the closest single origin Assam comparisons - worth tasting to see how different blenders handle the same exceptional region. Barry's Master Blend is the closest comparison in terms of strength and malty character if you want to stay with a teabag format.
