Description

Bold and robust, Joseph Wesley’s Black Tea No. 2 represents the quintessential taste of the famous Assam tea. If this tea had a voice, it would scream “tea!” Organically certified, this tea is grown between a series of villages in the lush highlands of Assam in Northeastern India and is harvested by hand using only the bud and two leaves from the Assamica variety of tea. This tea was picked in early spring to provide a perfect balance between its traditional astringent profile and its sweetness. As such, this tea can be enjoyed as is. Yet, if you seek a tea with a body robust enough to pair with your favorite fruits or spices, this is your tea.
