Assam Black Tea

Our Assam is a robust black tea with tremendous flavor. This 2nd flush tea has a grade of FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe). It brews up a rich coppery color with a full body, hints of malt and toast, and moderate astringency. An excellent tea to start the day with! Cups Per Package This tea is carefully blended and packaged by hand in a reusable tin or a resealable kraft bag. Our 4 oz. tin or kraft bag makes approximately 35 to 40 cups of tea. Our 8 oz. kraft bag makes approximately 70 to 80 cups. Ingredients Black tea (Origin: Assam, India) Tasting Notes Full bodied, bold, and moderately astringent, with notes of malt and toast. How to Brew Assam Tea Use 1 level teaspoon for every 6 oz. of water in your pot or cup. Heat water to boiling (approximately 212 degrees). Steep for 2 to 4 minutes. For best taste, do not over steep. These leaves can also handle a second or even third infusion. We recommend preparing Assam using a teapot, tea infuser, or tea filter. These brewing methods give the tea leaves enough room to expand as the tea steeps, resulting in a richer, more flavorful cup. As a hearty, full-bodied black tea, Assam is also a great choice for making homemade chai or tea lattes. Assam Tea Caffeine Content Black tea contains a moderate amount of caffeine, less than half as much as coffee per cup. Assam Tea Benefits Black tea boosts energy, helps with focus, and is a lower-caffeine alternative to coffee. More About Assam Read more about Assam.
