This tea is from the Assam region of India. Assam�s tea growing conditions are perfect for tea with temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperatures along with the Brahmaputra River create a natural greenhouse effect for tea growing. The finest teas in Assam were selected for this tea. This tea is decaffeinated using the Canadian Chemical Free CO2 Process. This process is more expensive but results in a better tasting tea and leaves with no chemical residue. This tea has a wonderful full bodied character with classic Assam malt flavor. Free shipping with purchase over $60.
