Kosher certified and well suited to café and hospitality programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is a vivid, rich red-mahogany with a full body and a pronounced malty character. The profile is bold and round, with a natural sweetness and a long, clean finish that holds its character well with milk. A dependable cup well suited to breakfast and brunch service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssam tea grows in the Brahmaputra River Valley, the world's largest tea-producing region, where the warm, humid climate and seasonal flooding favour the assamica cultivar of Camellia sinensis. The assamica leaf produces more body and depth than highland cultivars, giving Assam its characteristically full, malty profile. Whole leaf Assam with golden tips is a core ingredient in English Breakfast blends and a strong standalone offering in a loose leaf programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 95 °C for 3 minutes.
