Organic Positively Tea Company Organic Assam TGFOP Loose-Leaf Black Tea, 4 oz — Full-Bodied, Malty

This single-origin Assam harvest delivers brisk, malty character and layered sweetness, harvested and graded as TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) for a generous proportion of golden tips. Packaged in a 4-ounce bag, this USDA Certified Organic loose-leaf tea is intended for daily brewing, breakfast blends, or spirited afternoon cups that stand up well to milk and sugar.

How does this Assam tea taste and what makes it distinct?

The tea offers a robust, malty backbone with smooth top notes and a lingering sweet finish, thanks to the high percentage of golden tips indicated by the TGFOP grade. Its texture is layered and textured rather than flat, making it a satisfying cup straight or with milk.

• Flavor profile: malty core, sweet highlights, smooth mouthfeel
• Grade: TGFOP, indicating many golden tips for complexity
• Body: full-bodied and brisk, suitable for stronger brews

How should I brew this loose-leaf Assam for best results?

Use freshly boiled water and a short, strong steep to unlock the tea’s full character. Adjust leaf quantity and steeping time for strength: more leaves or longer steeping yields a bolder cup, while less or shorter steeps preserve delicate sweetness.

• Water temp: 200–212°F (just off rolling boil)
• Leaf amount: 1 tsp per 6–8 oz, increase for stronger flavor
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes depending on preferred strength

Can this tea be used in blends or with milk and sweeteners?

Yes. Its robust malt and sweet notes make it an excellent base for breakfast blends, chai mixes, or simply served with milk and sugar. The tea maintains structure when combined with spices or dairy, so it works well in both hot and iced preparations.

• Mixes well with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger
• Holds up to milk for classic breakfast-style cups
• Suitable for iced tea—bolder taste remains after chilling
