[Sun Moon Lake Four Black Teas] Old Bush Assam | Chashuo Travel / Taiwanese Tea / Small Farmer Selection

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353770861_c2b45e1cce_c.jpg **The Most Familiar Assam** __Introduced from South Asia, this tea tree variety has taken root over time, becoming a familiar taste in Taiwan.__ Although Assam tea originates from India, it is the most widely accepted black tea in Taiwan. It was originally brought to Lugu by the Japanese, which subsequently led to the international renown of Sun Moon Lake black tea. The famous Malt Aroma Black Tea also began with the Assam variety from Sun Moon Lake, making its way into Taiwanese life. To preserve the flavor of Lugu black tea, many elderly tea farmers have persisted in traditional, continuous cultivation in the same tea gardens. Over the decades, the Assam tea has gradually matured into old tea bushes, offering a stable and robust taste. For those accustomed to bubble tea who wish to explore Sun Moon Lake black tea but are unsure where to begin, we recommend starting with Assam. It can also be further blended into milk tea or vanilla black tea. This selection features autumn-harvested old bush Assam, produced by the tea factory that won the Special Award in the Large-Leaf Variety category at this year's Sun Moon Lake Black Tea evaluation. It boasts a distinct malt aroma and a high level of sweetness, suitable for both hot and cold preparations, and is delightful even without added sugar. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353992718_f9996fabf2_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54353992708_d0292a8f1c_c.jpg **Four Black Teas for Beginners** __Selected by Chashuo Travel__ Driven by the initial aspiration to "make Lugu black tea visible," Chashuo Travel has progressively collaborated with local smallholder farmers.
