Assam Black Tea

Assam tea is a bold, malty black tea from India’s Assam region, celebrated for its rich body and strong character. Often enjoyed as the base of breakfast blends, it is a classic choice for those who prefer depth and strength in their cup. At Apotheca·Tea, we use Assam black tea to provide grounding energy and robust flavour in blends that start the day with intention.

Did you know?

The Assam region in northeast India is one of the world’s largest tea-growing areas, with rich soil and a humid climate ideal for cultivation. Assam tea was first exported in the 19th century and quickly became the backbone of breakfast teas across Europe.

Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
