Premium Assam Black Tea
RT-00054
Hồng trà Assam vị mạnh malty, nước đỏ đậm — chuẩn trà sữa đậm vị.
A bold, malty tea base — born to make milk tea.
Assam is a renowned tea region along the Brahmaputra River in India, producing some of the strongest, boldest black tea leaves in the world. WECHA selects premium Assam with its signature malty aroma and rich red liquor, so you get a tea base that can "stand up to" milk and ice while keeping its full character. It's the ideal companion for a homemade milk tea or a hot cup of tea in the early morning.
A clear reddish-brown liquor with a glossy body. A distinctive malty aroma, like malt, with a faint honeyed sweetness. The taste is strong, bold and full-bodied, with a slight astringency in the finish that then smooths out — it's exactly this "backbone" that makes Assam pair with milk far better than other teas.
Key benefits
Ingredients & nutrition
Ingredients
100% pure Assam black tea from the Assam region of India — no flavorings, no coloring agents.
Nutrition
Black tea brewed without added sugar has almost no calories. It contains natural caffeine and the antioxidants characteristic of black tea (theaflavins). Detailed nutritional figures depend on how you brew it and how much sugar or milk you add.
* For reference only; not a substitute for medical advice. Nutrition varies with brewing method and amount of sugar/milk.
How to brew at home
Water temp
95-100°C (bring water to a full boil, then let it rest a few seconds) — Assam black tea needs very hot water to release its full malty flavor
Tea : water ratio
3-4g of tea per 200-250ml of water (about one heaping teaspoon per cup)
Steep time
For a hot cup of tea: steep 3-4 minutes. For milk tea: steep strong for 5-7 minutes until the liquor is deep red and bold
Tip: For milk tea, steep stronger than usual (more tea, longer soak) — the milk will mellow it, so the tea needs to be bold enough not to get lost. When drinking the tea plain, avoid over-steeping or it turns harshly astringent.
