Organic Assam GFBOP Sewpur Black Tea

Assam GFBOP Black Tea: a powerful, aromatic quality tea

From Assam to Darjeeling, India stands apart for its remarkable production of exceptional black teas. We are delighted to offer this superb Golden Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe, sourced from the gardens of Sewpur in the Assam region — home also to our Assam SFTGFOP Tonganagaon. Only the youngest leaves are harvested, along with their golden buds. These tender leaves are then dried and broken, yielding a distinctive flavour and a surprisingly aromatic character — hallmarks of our grand cru teas.
This organic infusion gives a full-bodied, lightly smoky cup. Yet for all its strength and fragrance, it retains a smooth and delicate finish. Best enjoyed plain, it makes a wonderful centrepiece for a quality tea time.

The benefits of Assam GFBOP Black Tea

Indian black teas such as Assam and Darjeeling are well regarded for their contribution to health and wellbeing. Each cup delivers antioxidants that help protect your cells from free radicals, while also supporting cardiovascular health, cholesterol levels and bone strength.
Much like a strong coffee, a cup of black tea provides a genuine energy lift, thanks to its natural caffeine content. What's more, our organic tea from the Assam region is made up of Orange Pekoe leaves, long prized for their superior quality and depth of flavour.
