All about Assam
“Assam is the tea I am the most proud of in our entire range,” two leaves and a bud CEO and founder Richard Rosenfeld says. “It’s a great sweet, tippy, malty, but organic Assam, and it’s an ongoing project with me. With every flush, our Assam gets better.” Where is Asssam? What makes Assam what it is? Let’s start with the region of Assam. Look on a map — Assam, India, is in the far northeast of the country. Assam is in the Brahmaputra River Valley, which means the water that flows through Assam is from the Tibetan plain, and the soil is rich with nutrients.

Boil, plunk, and enjoy. As in, boil your water, plunk in the tea sachet, and drink your tea. Aren’t those the basic rules for making tea? Actually, no.

But not to worry — we’re not about to intimidate you with how you should buy a fancy-schmancy thermometer to painstakingly take the temperature of each kettle you’re … Continue reading

Not having to measure anything. I knew very little about tea before getting a job with two leaves and a bud, but it’s a steep learning curve. (Steep. Ha! But pun not intended.) One of the first items in the office I met was the little blue scale that we use to measure out loose tea. “Aim for about 2.5 grams per cup of tea,” Bess told me on my first day, putting a pinch of tea onto the scale. It turns out, each of our sachets contains about 2.5 grams of tea … Continue reading
