Assam Black Tea | Camellia sinensis

Assam Black Tea is a loose leaf black tea made from Camellia sinensis, grown in the Assam region of India, one of the world’s best-known tea-producing areas. It is recognized for its bold, full-bodied character, deep amber liquor, and malty flavor with a brisk finish. This tea is commonly chosen for a strong everyday cup and is valued by tea drinkers who prefer a rich, robust black tea.

Assam black tea is typically enjoyed as a brewed beverage and is often used as a base for breakfast-style tea, milk tea, and chai blends. Its strong flavor stands up well to milk, sugar, or sweeteners, and it is also suitable for serving plain when a more direct tea profile is preferred. The loose leaf format allows for a fuller infusion and a more pronounced aroma and taste.

How to Use

• Hot tea: Steep in freshly boiled water for a rich, brisk cup.
• Tea with milk: Brew strong and add milk or a milk alternative for a classic Assam-style preparation.
• Chai blends: Use as the tea base for spiced chai with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, or cloves.
• Iced tea: Brew strong, cool, and serve over ice for a bold cold tea.
