The Republic of Tea Organic Assam Breakfast Loose-Leaf Black Tea, 3.5 oz Tin — Full-Leaf, Malty Morning Brew

A robust, full‑leaf Organic Assam black tea in a compact tin that steeps about 50 cups and delivers a malty, breakfast‑style cup.

Grown in Northern India, this single-origin Assam loose tea from The Republic of Tea is crafted for a hearty morning brew. The blend uses whole leaves rather than fannings or dust, which preserves bold malt-forward flavor and a naturally dark liquor. Packaged in a 3.5 ounce tin, the tea is designed to stay fresh on your shelf while providing roughly fifty 6‑ounce steeped cups when measured per the suggested serving size.

What flavor profile can I expect from this Assam breakfast tea?

This black tea offers a full-bodied, malty taste typical of Assam leaves, with a clean finish and moderate briskness. It’s built to stand up to milk and sweeteners but also works well unsweetened for a more straightforward cup.

• Notes: strong malt, warm toasted undertones
• Body: full and rich, good mouthfeel
• Finish: smooth with a light briskness
• Pairing: complements milk, honey, or a hearty breakfast

How should I steep this loose black tea for best results?

For a reliably balanced cup, bring fresh filtered water to a rolling boil and use one teaspoon of leaves per 6 ounces of water. Steep the tea for 3–5 minutes depending on how strong you like it; shorter for a lighter brew, longer for a more robust cup.

• Measure: 1 tsp loose leaf per 6 oz water
• Temperature: 212°F (boiling)
• Time: 3–5 minutes—adjust to taste
• Optional: add a splash of milk for a classic breakfast tea

How much caffeine is in this Assam tea compared to coffee?

This full‑leaf black tea contains significantly less caffeine per cup than a similar volume of brewed coffee, offering a gentler lift without the intensity of a coffee spike. Caffeine levels vary with steep time and leaf quantity, so shorter steeps or fewer leaves reduce stimulation.

• Typical caffeine: lower than same‑sized cup of coffee
• Control: shorten steep time to lower caffeine
• Serving size: approximate yields based on 1 tsp per cup
• Use: good for morning energy without strong coffee effects
