The sub-tropical teas of Assam, in north east India, are grown at near sea level. However, the higher latitudes in which they are grown trigger a period of cold winter dormancy, after which the teas produced are characterized by a unique rich aroma, clear dark red liquor and malty taste. The sub-topical teas of Assam are unmatched for this unique quality amongst other tea producing nations and as such are much sought by discriminating tea drinkers around the world.
