[Four Great Black Teas of Sun Moon Lake] Old-Growth Assam | Tea Story Travel / Taiwan Black Tea / Small-Farmer Gift Selection

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353770861_c2b45e1cce_c.jpg **The Most Familiar Assam** __A tea variety introduced from South Asia that has taken root over time to become a familiar taste locally.__ Although Assam originated in India, it is the most popular black tea variety in this region. It was the original variety brought to Lugao by the Japanese, which subsequently launched the international reputation of Sun Moon Lake black tea; the well-known malty black tea also began with Sun Moon Lake Assam, finding its way into the daily lives of local people. To preserve the flavor of Lugao black tea, many veteran tea farmers have persisted in traditional cultivation within the same tea gardens for decades. As these Assam trees have aged into old-growth, their flavor has become stable and full-bodied. For those accustomed to hand-shaken drinks who want to learn about Sun Moon Lake black tea but aren't sure where to start, we recommend beginning with Assam. It can also be further prepared as milk tea or vanilla black tea. This autumn selection features old-growth Assam produced by the tea factory that won the Special Jury Award in the Large-Leaf Variety category at this year's Sun Moon Lake Black Tea Evaluation. It offers a prominent malty aroma with high sweetness; it is delicious both hot and cold, and tastes great even without sugar. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353992718_f9996fabf2_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353992708_d0292a8f1c_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353972239_471a5c9ac4_c.jpg **Tea Story Travel Selection** __A curated selection of black tea from Lugao, Yuchi.__ Starting with Sun Moon Lake black tea, Tea Story Travel continues to organize and share the black tea culture of Lugao through tea selections, stories, and experiences, hoping to help more people discover it in an accessible way. Each tea has a unique production background, and every infusion is like a journey or a piece of literature—perhaps a story about a specific tea cultivar, a craft technique, a young tea farmer, a local settlement, or a tale that once unfolded on this land. —————————————————————————— ■ Product Name: [Four Great Black Teas of Sun Moon Lake] Old-Growth Assam | 2026 Gift Recommendation Producer: Tea Story Travel Weight: 20g / 40g / 75g Ingredients: Old-growth Assam loose-leaf tea Origin: Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan Shelf Life: 2 years unopened
