🍂 Assam Black Tea

“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.
  • Flavour: Rich and bold with notes of cocoa, molasses, and subtle spice.
  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, smooth, and slightly brisk.
Pairs beautifully with hearty breakfasts, buttery pastries, or a splash of milk for a classic British-style brew.

    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!

    The tea was nice,I have used it on couple of occasions.the only thing I found different this time, was when I was ordering,I was thinking of ordering s.hot chocolate, but it was the usual label and it seemed to be coming from a different place as they wanted to add an additional delivery charge and I couldn’t find a way to get the chocolate and tea on the same delivery
