As featured on NPR's Morning Edition!

This tea is from the Kachibari Village in northeastern India's Assam, one of the largest black tea production regions in the world. An unusual find from the area, this Assam highlights the passion of two producers, either the Chardwar Estate or Tenzing, on his small organic farm: He has taken a lead in making tea without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. The hand-picked leaves have a sweet, full aroma reminiscent of molasses and gingerbread dough; the flavor is bold but balanced, with satisfying notes of malt, black currant and dried fruit.

Assam is one of the teas traditionally used in breakfast blends; try this version to experience a nuanced taste of this lush region.

Great f.S.s.i.t.
Husband approved

Another review convinced me to try this as a replacement for my husband's daily sweet iced tea. I've been searching forever for a better quality tea and finally I found one he likes!

Robust choice!

This tea is a great choice for cold brew! It becomes deep red as it steeps through the day, heightening anticipation until evening when it is ready!

Really lovely, smoky flavor. Tastes great by itself, or with a little sweetner and milk. I do maple syrup and oat milk. It really doesn't need it.

My go-to

I have been drinking this tea for years and keep coming back to it. Smooth and flavorful. I always steep it twice with good results. In Pursuit of Tea has always been great!
