At Last!
For the last 10 years, I have been striving toward healthier eating. We joined an organic CSA (Community Support Agriculture), we found good sources for free-range meats & poultry & eggs, we switched over to organic milk. I buy organic, local, or fair-trade (or all of the above), whenever available. But my daily elixir: a pot of hot black tea with milk & raw sugar... that perfect pot of tea kept eluding me.

The organic and fair-trade options in tea were never right. Oh, sure, if I want rooibos, green, or white tea, organic choices abound. And organic herbals have always been easy to find, as are good chai teas. But for unflavored black tea, my organic choices were limited to an adequate English Breakfast, which was never as tasty as I thought it should be for the high price.

The proprietor of the local tea & herb specialty shop finally helped me solve my challenge, when she suggested I try Irish Breakfast if I was looking for a lovely black tea for my morning routine, since it is mostly Assam tea, which is just the best, in her opinion, for us black tea lovers. So after 30 years a tea lover, I finally put my finger on what I loved best in tea: Assam. Armed with a name for it, I typed "organic assam" into the Amazon search box, and found this wonderful tea.

Finally a high quality tea that is rich and smooth and bright and lovely and organic! And leave it to Amazon to offer case pricing on it. My inner socially-responsible obsessive-compulsive does a little happy dance with every sip...

Glorious Assam
The original box caught my attention while I was tea shopping at the always busy Fairway on Broadway. Price wise this was almost double of what all the other teas were but I couldn't resist the temptation of a new tea. It was a good choice in the end and I can't wait to try all the flavors this brand carries.

The mesh tea bag crinkles and sloshes like an expensive fabric as this single origin full leaf tea blooms once the water hits it. This tastes and looks like expensive loose tea with long graceful leaves that always remind me of seaweed in cold green sea. The taste is absolutely exquisite due to the single origin or pure Assam tea, meaning that small and delicate blossoms are selected with no fillers and cheap mixes to stretch the quantity of tea the company can package and sell. This tastes lovely on its own or is incredibly creamy and quiet dreamy with a splash of milk and always with sugar. For connoisseurs of plain black tea, this taste will soothe the taste buds and this will be something that they will reach for daily. I can't even recall how many times I pick this tea over coffee in the morning to give me will to live!

Real tea leaves.
In a gauzy bag.
Like loose tea but w/o the mess or the snootyness.
I've happily replaced my coffee w/ this tea, a lil honey and some milk.
