With an annual output of more than 1,500,000 lbs., the north-eastern Indian state of Assam -- situated across the border from the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan -- is the world's single largest tea-producing region. Similar to Darjeeling, Assam tea is picked in a first and second harvest or "flush." While leaves from the first flush produce a full, refreshing aroma, Assam tea is particularly known for its second flush, whose cream- or gold-colored tips (or even entire leaves) lessen the tea's natural bitterness, thus giving it a softer, gentler note. Leaves Pure Teas House Assam is a second flush variety with characteristically malty aroma, nicely full-bodied, even if nothing for truly special occasions.
