    Assam Tea

    4.9
    Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars
    1,525 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.

    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.

      My Order

      Really enjoying the Assam, Kenyan, Ceylon and Breakfast loose leaf tea which, given I like to have a supply of each at any one time, gives me a choice based upon whim!
