Our signature Assam has a small neat leaf with plenty of golden ‘tip'. Our founder Walter Whittard was quick to catch on to the ‘Empire Tea’ craze. British discovered the plants growing wild in the region to the far north-east of India back in the 19th century. There are only two different types of tea plant – one of which originates in Assam, the Camellia assamica.
