Organic Assam Breakfast – Black Tea
This breakfast black tea blend consists of 50% organic Golden Assam from Mana Organics, 25% organic Ceylon CTC from Nilmini Estates and 25% organic Keemun from the Hunan Tea Farmers' Co-Operative. A robust and malty cup with hints of cocoa and cinnamon, this tea is ideal for those early mornings and is designed to be paired with milk.
At Genuine Tea, we blended this tea for cafes in Toronto looking for a higher quality tea that still offered a sweet, malty and brisk punch. This breakfast blend also makes a fantastic base for a Maple Tea Latte - a truly Canadian recipe!
Due to the broken nature of the CTC tea leaves and heavy oxidation, this tea has a higher caffeine content than other teas.
- Bold & Malty Morning Tea: Our Assam Breakfast is a strong, malty black tea with a deep amber infusion. You’ll taste notes of toasted grain and caramel sweetness amid its robust body. It’s the quintessential eye-opener – smooth enough to drink straight, yet bold enough to handle a dash of milk or a squeeze of lemon. If you crave a traditional breakfast tea with extra depth, this is your go-to cup.
- Single-Origin & Organic: Harvested from sustainable farms in Assam’s Brahmaputra Valley, each leaf is certified organic and hand-picked at peak freshness. We focus on a single-region (not a blend of cheaper teas) to showcase Assam’s famed terroir – rich loamy soil and tropical climate that produce teas with unparalleled vigour and fragrance. This direct, ethical sourcing ensures better quality and a better life for growers, aligning with our values of people, planet, and purity.
- Naturally Energizing: High in caffeine and boasting a full spectrum of tea polyphenols, Assam black tea is the perfect healthy alternative to coffee. It provides a smooth energy lift and increased alertness [Study on tea polyphenols] without the jitters. The L-theanine in black tea also promotes mental focus and a calm mood, so you get sustained, focused energy for your morning.
- Healthful Antioxidants: Beyond the caffeine kick, you’re also nourishing your body. Black teas like Assam are rich in antioxidants (theaflavins) that support heart wellness. Research shows that regular black tea drinking can help reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol [Black tea LDL cholesterol study] and improve overall cardiovascular health. With zero calories and all-natural ingredients, this organic Assam is a heart-smart way to start your day.
Start your day with a robust cup of Organic Assam Breakfast – a full-bodied black tea that awakens your senses and fuels your morning. Sourced from the lush tea gardens of Assam, India, this breakfast blend is packed with malty richness and a brisk character that stands up to milk or sugar. It’s our take on the classic English Breakfast, made single-origin and organic to deliver maximum flavour and natural goodness. Each sip offers a taste of Genuine Tea’s commitment to quality, wellness, and ethical sourcing – a bold brew with heart.
