Assam Loose Leaf Tea

There is something deeply grounding about a proper cup of tea. This bold, full-bodied Assam from the fertile valleys of northeast India is rich in natural antioxidants and delivers a calm, focused energy to start your day with intention — malty, warming, and satisfying in every sip.

Sourced from the Assam region of India, this has become one of Brew Tea Co.'s most successful blends since launch. It forms the backbone of a classic English Breakfast, but stands beautifully on its own as a brew worth returning to every day.

Assam black tea

The wellbeing benefits of black tea

Black tea is one of the richest dietary sources of polyphenols — plant compounds with antioxidant properties that help protect cells from oxidative stress. Assam in particular is high in theaflavins and thearubigins, the antioxidants formed during oxidation that give black tea its characteristic depth and colour.

• Antioxidant support — theaflavins and thearubigins help neutralise free radicals and support cellular health
• Natural energy — black tea contains L-theanine alongside caffeine, which research suggests promotes calm, focused alertness rather than the sharp spike associated with coffee
• Gut health — polyphenols in black tea act as prebiotics, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria
• Heart health — regular black tea consumption has been associated in studies with improved blood vessel function and healthy cholesterol levels

Why you'll love this

• Bold and full-bodied — a proper wake-up cup
• Rich malty flavour with depth and warmth
• Versatile — delicious black, with a slice of lemon, or with milk
• Loose-leaf — whole leaves preserve natural antioxidants and flavour
• One of Brew Tea Co.'s best-loved blends

How to brew this

Add one heaped teaspoon to your teapot or infuser. Pour over freshly boiled water and steep for 3–4 minutes.

• Black — clean and bold, lets the malty depth shine through
• With lemon — a squeeze brightens the flavour and adds a refreshing lift
• With milk — rounds out the strength for a classic, comforting cup

Pairs beautifully with the Teapot for One and Perfect Tea Scoop.
