Java-Assam Melange

As the name suggests, this tea is a blend of teas from Indonesia (Java B.O.P.) and India (Assam B.O.P.). B.O.P. stands for Broken Orange Pekoe, or broken leaf. Java tea is known as a very fine-leaf tea with a full flavor and strong character, a true Dutch tea tradition from the Far East. It is a rich breakfast tea and a good choice for those who enjoy a full-flavored cup of tea in the morning. Assam black tea comes from India and has been enjoyed outside India since 1838. About half of India’s total tea harvest is Assam, making it a very popular tea. The tropical conditions in which this tea grows give it a distinctive malty flavor. Java tea is fragrant and full-bodied, while Assam tea makes this blend bold and spicy. The perfect combination if you enjoy a bold, full-bodied tea!

Storage instructions: It is important to store tea in a tightly sealed tin in a cool, dry place, as moisture, light, and high temperatures can affect its quality. It is also important to store each tea separately so they do not absorb one another’s aromas and flavors. Most of our teas keep for an average of two years.
