Pretty strong! Assam is a classic strong black tea, and its tart, malty aroma is your energising companion from dawn to dusk. Pure or with a dash of milk – Assam can be enjoyed for breakfast and in the afternoon with chocolaty desserts. This black tea variety comes from the tea-growing region of Assam, in the North-East of India. Full-on flavour: One teapot bag brews a whole pot (500 ml) of delicious tea.
