Assam Black Tea

There’s something special about an autumn Assam.

Harvested later in the season, this loose leaf black tea offers depth and structure without overwhelming intensity. The cup opens with classic Assam malt, then unfolds into balanced sweetness layered with floral notes, ripe plum, and gentle spice.

As it cools slightly, lingering hints of sweet tropical flowers and warm malt remain on the finish, clean and satisfying.

If you love malty black teas but prefer refinement over bold aggression, this one belongs in your daily rotation.

What Makes Autumn Assam Different?

Unlike the bold, brisk character of summer second flush Assams, autumn harvest teas are:

• Smoother
• Slightly sweeter
• More aromatically layered
• Lower in sharp tannins

The result is a balanced, medium-bodied cup with elegance and complexity.

This tea works beautifully as a morning cup, but it’s equally suited for a quiet afternoon session.
