Black tea is the traditional tea for kombucha brewing. Assam black tea comes from the Assam region of India, which, being at sea level with high temperatures and humidity, produces a tea with distinct malty flavor.
Assam black tea comes from the plant Camellia sinenses just like green, white, & oolong teas. What differentiates these teas is the level of oxidation, black being the most highly oxidized or “fermented.”
Directly sourced from the Darjeeling and Assam regions of India, you will receive 4 oz of Organic and OU Kosher Assam Black Tea.
