Assam Mangalam – Bold, Malty CTC Assam Breakfast TeaOur unique Assam Mangalam black tea comes from the Mangalam Estate in the northeastern Indian region of Assam — one of the largest and most celebrated black tea-producing regions in the world. This BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) grade tea is unique in both appearance and flavor: the leaves are broken and then granulated into small pellets, producing a dark mahogany cup with a rich, malty and exquisitely smooth flavor. Thanks to these tiny granules, Assam Mangalam infuses a delicious, strong cup very quickly. It tastes deliciously malty and is bold, rich and gently floral, with a bright cup and strong liquor. It's a must for lovers of black tea and Assam varieties in general! Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItAssam Mangalam is an ideal bold breakfast tea that brews up strong and fast — perfect for busy mornings. Its robust, malty body makes it a fantastic base for milk tea and chai, and its smoothness keeps it enjoyable on its own.
How to EnjoyThis is a fantastic breakfast tea, delicious with milk and a touch of sugar. It also makes a wonderful base for masala chai, bubble tea and strong milk tea, and brews into a rich, refreshing iced tea on warm days. Bold, rich and wonderfully smooth, Assam Mangalam is everything you want in a strong morning cup. |

A little steeping tipRich and malty with a natural sweetness. Lovely with milk; keep the steep shorter if you take it plain.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
