“Assam tea is like a caffeinated hug from an elephant – it’s the tea that’ll have you trumpeting with energy and feeling like you could take on the world. With its bold and robust flavours, it’s the kind of tea that could make even a sleepy sloth break into a full sprint. So grab your teacup, channel your inner pachyderm, and let Assam tea be your secret weapon for a day full of tea-powered adventures. Just remember, excessive tea-induced enthusiasm may lead to spontaneous elephant impersonations.”
“This is the tea that wakes you up and keeps you grounded. Assam is strength, warmth, and flavour in perfect harmony.” — Jamie Russell, Co-Founder & Master Blender, The Wee Tea Company. Discover the bold character of Assam Black Tea, a full-bodied brew sourced from the lush lowlands of India’s Assam region. Known for its rich, malty flavour and deep amber hue, this tea is a favourite for those who love a strong, invigorating cup—perfect with milk, or just as powerful on its own. Whether you’re starting your day or settling into a quiet moment, Assam Black Tea delivers a robust, comforting experience.
🌱 What Is Assam Black Tea?
Grown in the fertile valleys of Assam, this tea is harvested from the Camellia sinensis var. assamica plant, prized for its bold flavour and brisk finish. Our blend uses whole leaf Assam, carefully selected and then packed in Scotland to preserve its natural strength and complexity.
🍵 Tasting Notes
Aroma: Malty, earthy, with hints of toasted grain.

Nice tea, as usual. Small chopped leaves so it is darker than some of the larger leaves, and strong enough not to need to use too much.
This is one of our regulars – we always have this on the go!
