 About Assam Tea

Assam tea is a famous black tea cultivated in the state of Assam, India, the world's largest contiguous tea-growing region.1

  • Description: It is renowned for its strong, brisk, and malty flavor and its bright, deep-amber color.2 Grown at low elevation in a hot, humid climate, its robust character makes it a popular component in "breakfast" tea blends like English and Irish Breakfast, and it is often enjoyed with milk and sugar.3

Health Benefits of Daily Consumption:

Drinking Assam tea daily can offer several potential health benefits, primarily due to its rich content of antioxidants (polyphenols and flavonoids):4

  1. Boosts Mental Alertness: The combination of caffeine for energy and the amino acid L-Theanine promotes focus and sustained alertness without excessive jitteriness.5

  2. Supports Heart Health: Antioxidants may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving blood vessel function, potentially lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.6

  3. Rich in Antioxidants: These compounds fight harmful free radicals, helping to reduce oxidative stress, which is linked to chronic diseases and aging.7

  4. Aids Digestion: Compounds like tannins in black tea are traditionally believed to help soothe the digestive tract and maintain healthy gut bacteria.8

  5. Strengthens Immunity: The antioxidants and other compounds in the tea can help support and strengthen the body's natural defense system.9
