Extra Strong Black Tea
The story here is a real tea-heist thriller – during the 1800s, secret techniques and tea seedlings were smuggled out of China and planted in the fertile soils near the Himalayas. Fast forward, and Indian tea families learned the art of fermentation from Chinese Tea Masters brought in by tea-spy Robert Fortune from 1850 to 1856.
Today, these regions are black tea powerhouses globally. In India, Assam black tea is practically the currency of choice, making it a highly respected and competitive commodity.
So, whether you're after a caffeine punch or just a fascinating history lesson, this tea has you covered.
