How to Brew

You can discover our in depth black tea brewing guide to learn how to brew the perfect cup of tea. Use these quick steps to brew the perfect cup:

1–2 teaspoons (2-3g) per cup
200ml of fresh filtered boiled water (100°C)
Steep 3–5 minutes
Enjoy black or with milk

For a teapot, use 1-2 teaspoons per person, 600ml to 1, depending on teapot size, plus one extra teaspoon for the pot. (2 to 3g per person, with an additional 2g for the pot to ensure balance.)

For a stronger cup, use a little more tea and brew for a minute longer. For a lighter cup, simply reduce the leaf and shorten the steeping time. Feel free to experiment to find the balance that makes your perfect cup.

Why Choose This Black Tea

Production & Leaf Grades

This tea showcases two traditional processing methods, Orthodox leaf for fragrance, clarity and aromatic depth, CTC for brisk strength and a classic Assam Breakfast punch. The result is a balanced loose leaf black tea with both nuance and power.

Wellbeing & Potential Benefits

As a classic black tea, it naturally contains polyphenol antioxidants and a balanced caffeine lift. Many enjoy black tea as a gentler alternative to coffee, supporting alertness and comfort as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Assam Tea Origin & Craftsmanship

Assam, in north-eastern India, is the home of Assam tea, produced from the broad leaf assamica variety of the Camellia sinensis plant. The region’s heavy rainfall, warm temperatures and fertile floodplains help develop the deep, malty profile that distinguishes Assam black tea from lighter, high grown styles.

Every lot chosen for this tea is selected for aroma, structure and consistency, then blended in small batches for dependable flavour and freshness.

Region

Assam Region, India

Assam, located in northeastern India, shares its northern boundary with the Himalayas and Bhutan, and borders Bangladesh to the south. Connected to West Bengal through the narrow Siliguri Corridor, Assam is a region marked by rich geography and abundant natural resources. The Brahmaputra River, originating in Tibet, flows across northern Assam, bringing vital runoff from the high peaks and feeding the valleys. Assam's humid subtropical climate is split between wet and dry seasons, with the wet season extending from April to October, resulting in the highest rainfall in India and often causing severe flooding.

Temperatures range from 11°C to 31°C throughout the year, with little wind. This heavy rainfall creates lush, fertile wetlands, which support a diverse ecosystem. The hillier districts, with elevations up to 600m, experience a temperate climate, providing a distinct environment for tea cultivation. The region’s forests consist of tropical evergreens, deciduous trees, bamboo, and ferns, with many wildlife sanctuaries protecting species such as tigers, leopards, and rhinos. Assam’s teas are known for their rich, malty notes, distinct from Darjeeling’s muscatel flavours.
