Assam Black Tea, Produced for and Distributed by Thumb Organic LLC
"...in the plains where it gets exceedingly hot in May, June,
the bushes produce the best and most fragrant growth after
the July/August rains have cooled the temperatures down a bit.
As a result, Autumnal teas tend to be outstanding in the lower
altitude regions such as Assam." (Jaya Tea)

Softer, less edgy than Assams tend to be.
Nuanced and contemplative rather than bold.
Overall, a refined, sublime taste.

Our review:
Outstanding, assertive flavor. This is not a shy, demure tea waiting to be discovered. This tea wants to be noticed. A very extroverted and happy tea.

Golden Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe.
Orthodox, Broken Leaf, Autumn Flush (GFBOP)
Our review:
More balanced in flavor and not quite as exuberant in its assertiveness.
A strong, balanced Assam for when you do not require the full throttle
effect of the TGFBOP.
