The legendary breakfast tea from the upper Assam valley of India. Full-flavored, rich and chewy with notes of caramel and malt, this tea is bright and coppery in the cup and makes a great wake-up any time of day

Assam

Indian Black Tea

Assam tea is the biggest, brightest, richest and most astringent tea made. It is the backbone to breakfast style teas of nearly all brand and quality although it is also used in many blends for body and top notes. Assam is less floral and has more bread or biscuit-like flavor than other origins, and is often described as malty or coppery.

Good, But Not Great -- My Opinion

While I recognize the tea to be well made, it's not at the top of my list. The tea itself is fresh and aromatic, but to my taste, it's a bit rounded in the corners (blunt). I don't get many fruity, nutty, or flowery notes/scents, which is more to my liking. I might recommend this to someone I knew to like similar teas.

Aromatic Tea - Perfect With Milk

This is the perfect tea for making milk tea - the flavor pairs well with milk and/or condensed milk and it is aromatic.

Smith teas are such great purveyors of beautiful teas. I’ve yet to get something that I’m not delighted with. Thank you!

Excellent, hearty tea

Assam loose-leaf tea is an excellent tea, with a hearty and malty flavor. I drink two cups every morning! The “pantry filler” packages give me a supply great tea for a fraction of the cost of buying teabags of other premium teas at the grocery store.
