    Assam Tea

    4.9
    Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars
    1,527 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.

    Shipping is free over £25 (£3.95 below £25). Place your order before 5pm and we'll ship it that same day (Mon-Fri). It'll go Tracked Next Day with Royal Mail, unless you need DHL Next Day which is £10. International is little different, click here.
    As long as it’s unused and boxed you can send it back, but we recommend you to get in touch first to see if we can help. You’ll have to ship it back to us yourself, and we recommend using tracked delivery.

    Make sure you write us a note with your details in the box so we know who it’s from. Once it arrives, we’ll get your refund or exchange sorted.

    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.

    Origins

    We have a soft spot for Assam – it's the main part of our English Breakfast after all. It's punchy, rich, nutty and malty. A thumping taste combination that’s perfect with a splash of milk.

      Tasty Tea!

      Delicious Assam Tea. We either drink it on its own or blend it with other teas for our own individual taste!
