Assam Black tea is India’s signature morning cup: strong, bold, and full-bodied enough to handle milk and sugar. It’s the classic tea used for chai and to craft Earl Grey. We source ours from the Chardwar Estate, a garden leading India’s post-colonial approach to tea.
Taste: The strength of Assam Black tea is legendary. Its rich and bold body is balanced by fruity and malty top notes, coming together to make the classic cuppa. The British pioneered new processing techniques with Assam and used the region’s black teas in the world’s first Earl Greys. English Breakfast was traditionally a blend of different Assam teas. We find this tea the ideal pairing for any sweet treat, especially those with dairy. Lovers of English Breakfast, Earl Grey, and those in search of a top-quality chai base will likely enjoy this one.
