Rich and robust, this brisk brew has a medium body with notes of burnt sugar and caramel. The liquor is deep copper and has a sweet, slightly dry finish. An excellent breakfast tea or in the afternoon with a good book and sweets.
Khongea is situated in the upper reaches of the Assam region, on the south bank of the Brahmaputra River. Assam is the single largest tea-growing region in the world. Frequently used as a breakfast tea because it goes well with milk. Assams are prized for their rich, malty, and robust cup character.
