{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_Xv871vrW","product_name":"Assam","category":"Black Tea","description":"The breakfast tea built to stand alone.\nAssam is an organic black tea from the Brahmaputra Valley in northeast India, the low-lying floodplain region where Camellia sinensis var. assamica grows naturally. The leaf oxidizes fully during processing, which develops the deep amber liquor and the malty character Assam is known for. High tannin content gives the cup its brisk, astringent finish. High caffeine gives it the morning lift. The tea holds up to milk without disappearing, which is why it anchors almost every English Breakfast blend in the world.\nWhy the valley matters.\nAssam accounts for roughly half of India's total tea production and grows at elevations between 100 and 500 feet above sea level. The low elevation, combined with the region's monsoon climate and mineral-rich alluvial soil from seasonal flooding, produces a tea plant with larger leaves and higher caffeine content than high-grown teas. The result is a robust, full-bodied cup with less floral delicacy and more malt-forward strength. The same conditions that make the region one of the wettest places on earth also make it one of the most productive tea-growing regions in the world.\nHow to brew it.\nFull boiling water. 1 teaspoon of leaf to 8 ounces, steeped 4 minutes. The high tannin content can turn bitter if oversteeped, but within the 3-to-5-minute range, the cup stays brisk without crossing into harsh. Add milk to round the tannins and bring out the malt sweetness. Drink it black to feel the full astringent wake-up.","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/assam-loose-leaf-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779850967","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/assam-brewed-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779850967","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/assam-tin-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779850967"],"price":18,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":19998,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:46:17.026Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_Xv871vrW","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
