Welcome back to Tea With Me and Friends - we hope you're enjoying Afternoon Tea Week 2016!
Today we bring you our third and final look at Grey's Teas, this time focusing on a selection of Assam Teas.
Let's start by taking a look at Assam Dikom....

| Grey's Teas - Assam Dikom |
The Dikom tea garden is based in the south-east of the Assam region in India’s north east, Dikom is considered one of Assam’s best tea estates. The tea produced is a bold, no nonsense traditional tea.
When brewed for five minutes you have a beautiful rich coloured tea with a bright, slightly malty flavour. A well rounded cuppa.....

The Harmutty garden was established in 1870 and located in the Brahmaputra valley. The tea is usually picked in May, and has a wonderfully inviting aromatic aroma.
A nice tea fact for you - this is a clonal tea....which means that the tea bushes which these leaves are picked from are cloned from the root-stock of the original tea plants native to Assam!
This tea should be brewed for about four minutes and can be drunk with or without milk....we opted for without milk....

This tea has a bold flavour, which is malty but also slightly spicy...and its this delicious warmth that I love about it. A great cup of tea to start the day off with!
