ASSAM PURE
VERY STRONGA dark, rich tea with full-bodied, malty flavour, a hint of sweetness and a silk smooth finish.
Assam teas are especially good where water conditions overpower more delicate teas, and are often enjoyed with milk.

love this tea Review by ['barbplum']
After reading a couple books about the tea plantations in India I was in search of Assam tea to try. I was so pleased with this tea! Smooth (luxuriously so) with just the depth of flavour I was looking for! I drink it black and 5 minutes brew time works like a charm.

Over the years I have purchased a number of Murchie's teas & since I like stronger taste, I decided to try the Assam. Unfortunately, I found it to be somewhat middle-of-the-road, both in taste & aroma. I'll stick to my tried & true choices.

A malty full bodied tea with no harshness at the end — a wonderful all purpose tea. As a devoted espresso coffee drinker this is now my default tea choice.

I love a hearty bold tea but one that doesn't taste too earthy. Some days I skip my morning coffee and go straight to tea and toast. It smells as good as it tastes.

The smell of this tea will get anyone up and moving in the morning! The first thing that struck me was, as it was brewing, there is such depth to the scent, and the flavour once I tasted it is stunning! Full and smooth, with the natural maltiness of Assams... just great. (Posted on 12-06-28)

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
