Assam Tea

4.9
Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars
1,467 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.

    Dark and malty

    Brew this lovely Assam for exactly 3 minutes with boiling water for a deep flavoursome tea. Ideal if you like a stronger brew, this is a tea which I enjoy with a slight splash of milk, just enough to take the edge off but allow the deep flavour to shine through. Ideal when you want something with a bit of body and a proper tea taste.

    An absolute belter!

    As a regular drinker of Brew Breakfast Tea, I decided to try Assam & so glad I did. It’s an absolute belter & now my regular brew. The very best tea I’ve had in years. Thank you!

    looking for something strong and flavoursome?

    Excellent single origin choice, brilliant alone or in combination with other option. Arrives, plants its feet, and stares down the horrors of the day.
