Assam Organic
This organic Assam is described in the shop’s tasting notes as a second-flush summer black tea. It brews a deep burgundy cup with a brisk body and a robust aroma.
Malt leads the flavor, with a hint of burnt-sugar sweetness behind it. Enjoy it plain to taste the leaf or add milk for a classic breakfast-tea cup; a slightly shorter steep will soften its astringency.
Contains Caffeine
Ingredients: Organic Black Tea
How to brew
- Tea: 2.5 g of dry tea per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water
- Water temperature: 212°F (100°C)

Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
