Whittard Tippy Assam Tea 50 Traditional Teabags Plastic Free

Whittard’s traditional teabags filled with a sweet and malty golden-tipped black tea.

Believe it or not, for all the different varieties of tea there are only two different types of tea plant – one of which originates in Assam, the Camellia assamica. When the British discovered the plants growing wild in the region to the far north-east of India back in the 19th century, they couldn’t have been more delighted: after centuries of tricky trade relations with the Chinese, they could finally grow their own tea.

Whittard founder Walter Whittard was quick to catch on to the Empire Tea craze, creating a strong, malty tea with substantial body and a rich amber color. The traditional teabags are brilliant at breakfast with a splash of milk.
