type: black

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Assam in north-eastern India grows exceptional tea in the lush soil of the Brahmaputra valley and we pick ours at the peak of the season from some of the region's finest estates during the second flush harvest. It's rich, strong and full-bodied with malty notes.

      Was pleasantly surprised when I got this in a box set. It is better than their decaf black tea and english breakfast for sure. Not as sour. Warms your insides without a bad aftertaste.

      Strong and just a little bit on the smoky side, it takes milk and sugar really well. Just make sure you don't steep it for too long or else it gets really astringent.

      The assam tea has a very strong flavor and aroma that will wake you up quick in the morning. The bags make it very easy to brew by the cup.
