Bold, brisk and full-bodied, Assam is the black tea for people who like their cup strong. Grown in the lush lowlands of Assam, India, from the native Camellia sinensis var. assamica plant, it brews a deep amber-red cup with a signature malty aroma and a smooth honey finish.
Assam stands up beautifully to milk and sugar. It's the backbone of most breakfast blends and the traditional base for masala chai across India.
Ingredients: Assam black tea (India)
Brew: 1–2 teaspoons (or 1 tea bag) per 8 oz of boiling water. Steep 3–5 minutes. Add milk, honey or lemon to taste.
Caffeine: Moderate to high, one of the stronger black teas
