Ingredients
Black Tea
Description
Why This Tea Stands Out:
Savor the robust, malty richness of Assam Orthodox Black Tea, a single-origin treasure grown in the lush Brahmaputra Valley. Unlike CTC teas, this hand-processed, whole-leaf black tea delivers complex layers of caramel, dried fruit, and a hint of honey—perfect for those who crave depth in their cup.
Brewing Instructions
Water Temp: 200°F (93°C) – rolling boil for full extraction
Steep Time: 3-5 minutes (shorter for bright cups, longer for boldness)
Pro Techniques:
→ Warm your teapot first to maintain heat
→ Use 1 tsp per cup (2 tsp if adding milk)
→ Try "Assam Smash" – steep extra strong over ice with lemon
Benefits
✅ Full-Bodied Maltiness – The signature Assam profile tea lovers adore
✅ Morning Powerhouse – 50-60mg caffeine per cup (stronger than Darjeeling)
✅ Orthodox Process – Hand-rolled leaves retain essential oils for richer flavor
✅ Rainforest-Grown – Single-estate leaves from ethical gardens
✅ Versatile Base – Shines with milk or stands bold on its own
"Like liquid amber—warm, invigorating, and deeply satisfying."
Perfect For
☀️ Breakfast Rituals – The ultimate wake-up call (even coffee lovers convert!)
🥛 Creamy Chai – Holds up to milk and spices beautifully
🍰 Dessert Pairings – Complements chocolate, shortbread, and fruit tarts
🎁 Gifting Traditionalists – For those who cherish classic black teas
🧉 Iced Tea Strength – Won’t turn watery when chilled
Why this blend stands out
✓ Whole Leaf Quality – No bitter "dust" like in tea bags
✓ Multiple Infusions – Good leaves can steep 2-3 times
✓ Terroir Expression – Taste the mineral-rich Assam soil
