When Thomas Twining opened his shop on London's Strand in 1706, little did he know that we would still be supplying some of the world's finest tea to this date. Just like Thomas, our passion still burns brightest for loose leaf, the ultimate for the enthusiast to savour the subtle flavours of the freshest & finest teas & infusions. Assam Green Assam in India is rightly associated with wonderfully thick, malty black teas, however some excellent & flavoursome green teas are becoming well known. Grown on the fertile flood plains of the Brahmaputra river, this green tea delivers a cup with an initial sweet mellowness, yielding to a mature grassy character. The flavour is further lengthened by a hint of fresh green wood.
