{"product_id":"assam-black-tea","title":"ARIEL Assam","description":"\u003cp\u003eAssam is the classic breakfast black tea: rich, malty and full-bodied, with a deep amber-red liquor and plenty of backbone. Grown in the Assam region of northeastern India, along the Brahmaputra River, it's the tea behind many English Breakfast blends – bold enough to stand up to milk and a natural way to start the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is deep and coppery-red, and the aroma is warm and malty. Assam is known for its strength: full-bodied and brisk, with a rich, malty sweetness, notes of honey and a hint of the golden tips scattered through the leaf. It takes milk and sugar beautifully, holding its character where lighter teas would disappear. A proper morning tea, and a good base for a chai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssam takes its name from its home region in northeastern India, in the wide, humid valley of the Brahmaputra River. It's one of the largest tea-growing areas in the world, with a hot, low-lying climate suited to \u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003eassamica\u003c\/em\u003e, the bold local variety. Its tea industry dates to the early nineteenth century, and its malty character has anchored breakfast blends ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat fresh water to 95 °C and steep 2.5 g (about one teaspoon) for 3 minutes. Assam is robust, so it holds a full steep and takes milk well; steep a little longer for a stronger cup, and the same leaves give a good second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole leaf black tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 loose leaf, 1 kg loose leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TERRA COFFEE AND TEA LTD","offers":[{"title":"100 g loose leaf","offer_id":40901010784431,"sku":"TARIORINRIN01F100X","price":26.35,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":40907083940015,"sku":"TARIORINRIN01F001","price":232.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3321\/9503\/files\/The_Noir_Assam_1KG.jpg?v=1763059061","url":"https:\/\/cafeterra.ca\/products\/assam-black-tea","provider":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
