ARIEL Assam Fatichera Decaf

ARIEL Assam Fatichera Decaf is a decaffeinated green tea from the Fatichera estate in Assam, India, available in a 1 kg bulk format. Assam is internationally known for its black teas, making this green tea from the same origin a distinctive menu addition. Kosher certified and well suited to any programme requiring a full-flavoured, caffeine-free green tea option.

Tasting Notes

The cup is pale golden-yellow, with a clean, slightly earthy character and a soft, smooth body. Assam green teas carry more body than Chinese or Japanese equivalents, reflecting the terroir of a region known for full-flavoured teas. The decaffeination preserves the flavour profile while removing caffeine.

Origin

Assam, in northeast India, is internationally recognised for its teas – predominantly black, with a characteristic boldness tied to its climate and soil. The Fatichera estate is a named single-origin source within Assam, providing supply traceability for wholesale buyers. This green tea from the same estate reflects Assam's characteristic body in a lighter, unoxidised form.

Brewing

Steep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 90 °C for 2 minutes. The higher brewing temperature is typical for Assam green teas and extracts the full body of the leaf. At this ratio, a 1 kg bag yields approximately 400 portions.
