Assam Black Tea Leaves (12oz|170+ Cups) Quality Black Tea Loose Leaf | Malty & Rich |Caffeinated, Non GMO |Pure Unblended Single Origin Black Loose Leaf Tea |Vacuum Sealed |Enjoy with/without milk

A robust, aromatic black tea that doesn't scream for milk and sugar. Withstands multiple steeps without getting bland. I appreciate the vacuum sealed bag being sent with another resealable bag. Very reasonably priced for the quality and amount.

Let's start with the packaging: This tea comes vacuum sealed in a nice package that "pops" when you cut the seal. It has a very long neck so that, after you cut it open, you have a nice long top to pour it into the container it's going to stay in. Vahdam has included a thick, dark plastic, zip top bag for you. The bag is folded up inside the cardboard box and unlabeled. But never fear: There is a VERY LARGE full color label that looks just like picture on the box. I peeled this label and applied it to the zip top bag, then poured the pound of tea into it. It seals solidly and is light proof. This is a great addition so the tea will stay fresh for a long time. The taste and smell: Initially I was a little put off by the "flowery" smell of this tea. I have only had a few other Assam teas, so I'm not sure what a very high quality Assam should smell like. This has kind of a sharp note, as opposed to the warm notes I get from Ceylon tea. I initially used about the recommended amount of tea: Approximately 4 grams for 12 to 14 oz of water. The recommendation is 2 grams for 7 oz of water. I use a bigger cup! That cup of tea was flowery at first and then a little bit malty as it cooled. It was fine, but not really what I wanted. For my next cup the following day I used more like 5.5 grams for 12 to 14 oz of water. This cup was very different. Very little flower taste. The malt became much more prominent and increased as the tea cooled. The flower and (very mild) astringency showed up in the after taste. This was a much more satisfying cup of tea for me. I like malt and this muted malt was nice and seemed to keep changing as I drunk it. The last few sips seemed to have a (very mild) chocolate flavor. For me, using a good bit more than the recommended amount of tea is the way to drink it. I like this tea and will be drinking more. So a very nice tasting Assam with the best, most useful, packaging I have ever seen. Recommended!

Delicious, robust and smooth.

This is a good Assam. The leaves are large and fragrant, the flavor is vibrant with a note of tang and smoke (ideal as your morning tea). The price is quite affordable too. I didn't give this blend 5 stars for one reason: while the flavor is certainly bright and has quite a body, I wish it were a bit more malty and smooth. But things like this also depend on the year in which the leaves were harvested, so quite good overall.

I used this to make milk tea because I read that Assam Black Tea is the best tea to use for milk tea. This tea came packaged really nicely and the tea leaves were vacuum-packed to ensure freshness. It also came with another bag and a sticker which I thought was extra fancy. I liked the taste and it did make a pretty good milk tea. I don't really have any complaints. It also doesn't take a lot to make one cup of tea so I like that this will last me a good amount of time. It's kind of pricey, but I would say it's worth it.

Vahdam brand Daily Assam loose leaf tea is the best tasting black tea I've ever tried. I've been drinking PG Tips extra strength but it's not available in tea bags anymore so I went back to the drawing board and decided to try loose leaf. Daily Assam is smooth and strong with no hint of bitterness. It's also real leaves. I like my tea extra strong in a 12 oz mug with a little sugar & milk so the first cup I made I doubled the recommended amount of leaves to 4 tsp and it was perfect. It arrived on time in a small box with instructions and shrink wrapped. Also included is a heavy duty light blocking storage pouch. It was a very thoughtful, unexpected touch. Tea quests can be expensive, so I'm very happy I found this tea on my first try.

Excellent tea!!! Well packaged to preserve freshness! I noticed that the package is smaller now - a sign of the times unfortunately - like the “gallon” of ice cream! Prompt delivery also excellent!

I have a few favorite teas. Assam is one of them (along with Darjeeling). I have some semi ok tea bags in my cabinet, but loose tea really is so far superior and it just takes a bit longer. I make tea only with bottled water, so the color and fragrance are both clear and fresh. This tea is not powdered like some you might buy. No murkiness. I have a couple of stainless steel tea strainers. Use one that is big enough so the tea is not crowded. Three slightly heaping teaspoons (measuring spoon) to a larger tea pot and a tiny bit extra. My teapot is 1-1/2 times the size of the old brown teapots my mom used. Brew it four minutes. Perfection. This tea is great hot, iced or just room temperature.

Un tè eccezionale ad un prezzo imbattibile. Provate a mixare una porzione di questo straordinario tè con un'uguale quantità di infuso del vostro erborista, tipo Frutti di Bosco o quel che vi aggrada: otterrete una miscela meravigliosa. Diversamente gustatelo così com'è: favoloso!

Muy rico este té negro.

コロナ禍で◯UPICIAで値上がりしまくったアッサム。 値段がお手頃で美味しいアッサム「だった」のですがしばらく本当に飲めませんでした。 値段が倍加して50g買ってみたけど直ぐ無くなるし、少し値段を抑えようとすると買って後悔する茶葉になる。 ◯iptonでアッサムを買ったら....紅茶色の水状態（値段据え置きだからわからなくもない）で悲しい思いをしながらこの数年、 普段用紅茶探してアールグレイのフレーバーで飲んでました。 こちらの茶葉は、ちゃんとアッサムでした。 勿論、選別して良い茶葉を選んだ際のクオリティーアッサム（感動レベルで美味しい）ではありません。 ただ、値段からすると驚異的な程のきちんとアッサムだったので、普段用には充分過ぎると思います。 ただ、アッサム独特の風味が嫌いな方もいると思いますし、癖があるのも事実だと思います。 日本で紅茶を飲むと、アッサムを謳っていてもアッサムじゃないコレ、はよくあるある、なので「アッサム茶葉」が好きな方に。 アッサムの焼き栗？焼き芋？的な風味、鼻に通る様なスッキリ感やコクが嫌いな方が、買うとこの量はもて余すと思います。 真空パックされてる2026年迄なので買って良かったです。 直ぐ飲む分は茶葉用のストッカーに開けて、入らない分は包装ごとジプロックに入れて空気抜きしました。 買って良かった。販売者さんありがとうございます。予備買おうかなぁ。

Pleasantly impressed with this tea. Very good value for money, will definitely purchase again! Not bitter, quite mellow, leaves a rich but clear tea.
