Assam

This Assam black tea delivers a bold and invigorating cup with classic malty undertones. Expect a brisk and full-bodied infusion that stands well on its own or with a touch of milk. It leans malty, robust and brisk.

Water around 90–100 °C (195–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Full boil is fine for most blacks. Don't overthink it.

Grown in Assam, India.
