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.

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.
