Assam Black Tea - Single Origin Grade A | Bold & Malty

from $12.00

The tea the Singpho tribe brewed centuries before the world knew its name. Pure Assam black tea with the robust, malty richness that built empires—now direct from source to your cup. No middlemen, just heritage.

Tasting Notes - Assam Black Tea

Aroma: Bold and inviting with malty sweetness, hints of molasses, and a subtle earthiness. When brewed, releases warm notes of toasted grain and honey.

Flavor Profile:

  • Primary: Rich, full-bodied maltiness with a natural sweetness

  • Secondary: Robust and brisk with notes of molasses, caramel, and dark chocolate

  • Finish: Smooth with a lingering warmth and slight astringency that cleanses the palate

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and robust with a velvety texture. Strong enough to stand up to milk and sugar (the traditional chai way) but complex enough to enjoy black.

Brew Color: Deep amber to reddish-brown—the color of dawn over the Brahmaputra.

Best For: Morning wake-up, traditional chai preparation, or anytime you need a tea with backbone. This isn't a delicate afternoon sipper—it's the bold, hearty brew that fuels a region.

Brewing Notes: The high tannin content means it can handle boiling water and longer steep times without becoming bitter—perfect for the traditional "boil it all together" chai method, or brew it strong and add milk the way Assamese families have for generations.

Long before the British claimed it, the Singpho tribe was brewing wild tea in Assam's misty valleys. In 1823, they showed a colonial explorer what they'd known for centuries. By 1900, Assam tea conquered the world—but the story belonged to someone else.

Until now.

This Grade A single origin black tea carries the bold, malty richness that made Assam legendary. Grown where the Brahmaputra River feeds mineral-rich soil, each leaf holds generations of knowledge and a region's pride. We're bringing it to Buffalo, straight from the estates where my story began—no colonial middleman, just the pure, robust flavor that reminds every South Asian kitchen of morning.

For second-gen kids finally understanding why their parents saved the "good tea" for guests. For immigrant families brewing home in a new land. For anyone ready to taste tea the way it was meant to be.
