    Assam Tea

    Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars
    1,545 Reviews
    A strong, traditional cup that's as bold in flavour as it is in colour. Our Assam tea is the main part of our English Breakfast and the tea in our Chai. Punchy, nutty, malty and strong. There's a reason it's one of our best sellers.
    Bold & Rich
    Assam's perfect with well-toasted, buttered bread and a little honey. The ultimate breakfast.

    Brewing Tip

    Your tea will start tasting bitter if it’s left to brew for too long so if you fancy a stronger cup, add some more tea leaves.

      Delicious

      Nice strong tea for the mornings. Leaves are smaller than the English breakfast blend, but this might be something specific to the region and variety.

      Hi Henry,

      Spot on! The Assam leaves are a little smaller than our Ceylon leaves so that is why they may appear smaller than some of our other blends :) It really is down to the region and blend of tea, but I am glad to hear you have been enjoying the Assam Henry.

      Happy brewing

      Strong and delicious

      This tea is so delicious! It's strong and bold, I find it's perfect mid morning as it's stronger than the equally delicious English breakfast variety and adds some zing to the mid morning lull!

      Perfect at breakfast

      The assam tea is strong and goes well with milk at breakfast.

      The service is impressive. The orders arrive quickly, and beautifully packed.

      After many years of using Brew Tea loose leaves, I now use the tea bags that are just as good.

      Strong and sophisticated

      Like all the brew teas, Assam is a deep rich start to the morning, afternoon or hour.
