Assam Broken Orange Pekoe

This unflavoured black tea contains a blend of different leaves from the summer harvest. The Assam leaf is known for its strong, malty and aromatic leaf with rich body.

By breaking the leaves (OP= Orange Pekoe), the leaf surface-area increases and allows the tannins to be released faster.

This broken Assam leaf will provide you with a rich level of desirable harshness. The slightly tangy, yet malty aftertaste is typical of this leaf.
