Same soil. Completely different personality.
Assam is famous for bold, malty black tea — so a green tea from the same gardens sounds like a contradiction. It isn't. Minimally oxidised and gently processed, this green tea keeps Assam's natural depth but trades the malt for a grassy, slightly sweet, lighter cup.
If you've written off green tea as thin or grassy-in-a-bad-way, this is your reset. It has body. It has a point of view. It just doesn't shout.
For the Assam loyalist who wants something lighter without switching allegiances entirely.
