China, Japan, and India all produce green tea leaves. Japanese green leaf tea has a fresh, grassy flavour, while Chinese green tea leaf is semi-fermented (or semi-oxidized), giving it a slightly smoky taste. Chinese green tea leaf is typically pan-fired, and Japanese green tea leaf is steamed. At Assamica Agro, our organic Assam loose leaf green tea is picked fresh, steamed and then dried in a dryer or under the sun. This produces a medium-bodied Assam lonf leaf green tea that is flavourful, malty with a pleasing note of honey. Assam green tea is smooth and satisfying, well-structured, high in tannins, but not so bitter. It has a smooth, almost silky texture, very mild astringency and very little bitterness, even when subjected to high temperatures.
