Greenfield Premium Assam Black Tea, Russian Blend 50g (1.8oz)

Greenfield Premium Assam Black Tea is the malty, full-bodied Assam-origin breakfast tea from Greenfield, the Russian premium tea brand launched by Orimi Trade in St. Petersburg in the mid-2000s — the brand that positioned itself as the high-end tea offering for the Russian market by sourcing single-origin and blend teas from Assam, Ceylon, China, and Darjeeling, with packaging and quality positioning that set it apart from the mass-market Russian tea segment. Assam, the northeastern Indian region along the Brahmaputra river valley, produces the strongest and most malty of the world's black teas — the golden-red cup with the muscatel backbone that forms the base of classic English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast blends and is most appreciated in the Russian tradition of drinking strong tea through a samovar. In the Russian and Eastern European diaspora household, Greenfield occupies the premium tea shelf position: the brand kept for the guest who deserves the better cup, brought out at the samovar alongside preserves and pastry. Brew strong in boiling water for 3–4 minutes, drink with milk or a slice of lemon in the Russian style, or serve from a samovar alongside honey and jam.
