Premium Golden Tips Assam: Aromatic, Smooth, and Versatile

The Tao of Tea Golden Tips Assam Black Tea presents a dark, smoothly textured infusion with a soft mouthfeel that shines whether sipped plain, blended with milk, or cooled as a refreshing iced tea. This tea comes from a distinct Camellia sinensis varietal grown on select estates. Leaves are withered, bruised with a rolling machine, oxidized with a careful touch, and oven roasted to complete the process. The oxidation level leans toward brightness, creating a lively cup that holds a premium position in its gardens.

Key characteristics

  • Smooth textured, amber-red liquor with apple and pear flavors.
  • Longer oxidation compared to darker Assam styles for a balanced, bright profile.
  • A thin film of essential oils rises to the surface after steeping, signaling a rich aroma.
  • MORE THAN FAIR TRADE: The Tao of Tea supports ethical sourcing and community-minded practices in its supply chain.

How to enjoy

  • Plain: savor the fruit-like notes and soft mouthfeel without additives.
  • With milk and a touch of sugar for a comforting, café-style cup.
  • As iced tea in warm weather for a refreshing twist on a classic.

About the brand: The Tao of Tea is a Portland, Oregon–based pure leaf tea company dedicated to connecting tea cultures through thoughtfully sourced leaves and a craft mindset. The Golden Tips Assam exemplifies the art of tea artistry, offering a versatile base that can complement various blends and preparations. While tasting experiences will vary, this tea invites experimentation and personal rituals rather than guarantees of results.

Craft and provenance

  • Leaves from a distinct Camellia assamica varietal grown on selective estates.
  • Traditional processing: withering, bruising, rolling, then a careful oxidation tuned for brightness.
  • Finished with oven roasting to lock in essential oils and nuanced flavors.
