Black teas from India’s Assam region are some of the most popular in the West, and deservedly so—their round and comforting flavor is what many of us seek in a breakfast tea.

This stellar, unblended lot from the organic Chardwar Estate will open your eyes at any time of the day: rich, malty and biscuity in the cup, an aroma of sweet grain harmonizes with deep, smooth notes of molasses and honey. Its full texture, which coats the palate, is a result of carefully tended plants and full oxidation of the leaves during processing; the abundant golden buds show the high-quality hand plucking.
