Where is Assam Located?
The state of Assam is located in the northeastern part of India, in the heart of the "Seven Sister States" region, a narrow corridor that connects this area to the rest of the country. Assam is approximately the size of the Czech Republic and is one of India's medium-sized states. In addition to Assam pepper, the region is also famous for Assam tea, one of the best-known teas globally, and is a key ingredient in the famous East Frisian tea blend.
How to Store Spices?
To preserve the freshness and aroma of your spices, it's recommended to store them in airtight containers. Personally, I prefer glass jars. Keep the spice jars in a dark, cool, and dry place to maintain their quality for longer.
