Assam Breakfast High Caffeine Loose Black Tea from India (200+ Cups) - Fresh Harvest - Perfect for Strong Morning Milk Tea Or Indian Chai Tea - Farm2Cup No Middleman - Bulk Pack - 1 Pound

I drink several cups a day. This is the strong, malty, Assam CTC tea of my dreams. Perfect with milk, and definitely caffeinated enough to notice but not feel jittery from. I love that you can buy direct from the grower. And while other Assam CTC teas I’ve gotten have come with a lot of dust that can make for an unpleasant mouthfeel, this one is just perfect little CTC bits with very little dust.

Absolutely delicious! I’ve been drinking Wagh Bakri, Tetleys, and Tea India CTC teas, which is basically the “Folgers” of the tea world. I truly enjoy the consistency and malty flavors those brands offer; however, this Assam Breakfast is next level—especially straight out of the bag. First sniff had that classic strong Assam smell, then it was followed by a sweet, fresh, almost minty aroma. Flavor is robust, malty, but smooth. I like my tea strong and thick, steeped for 3 minutes right off a rolling boil: this tea was meant for that style. Strong and smooth! I also noticed the large pellet size; I’m used to cheaper “tea dust” style tea. I’d compare it to a small batch style quality tea. Highly recommend! Ignore all the reviews of people stating they were let down—if you don’t appreciate this tea—you don’t know good tea.

Strong flavor, with a delicious smell and taste! I drink my tea black with honey and after trying the second cup, I can say I am a fan! Although I do not use milk in my tea, I think this tea would be strong enough to add milk to without sacrificing the tea flavor. I read a lot of the reviews (I am a tea snob-meaning, I like strong black tea with a clear taste), and I am glad I gave this one a try. It is in a pellet form, which I actually preferred to the loose cut leaf tea. One particular review I read mentioned particles, or floaties, in the cup (even with the finest mesh strainer), which was off putting to them and interfered with their enjoyment of the tea. I did not notice any floaties in either cup that I had, and the particles in the bottom of my cup were minimal. Neither was enough to deter me from loving this tea. I am not sure what strainer they used, but the strainer I used is a heart shaped tea ball and it did as well with the CTC as it does with cut leaf. Overall, the smell, flavor, and taste were wonderful and very appealing to me. I did take another reviewers advice and cut the amount per cup down on the first cup I tried just to make sure it wouldn't be too strong, or bitter. The second cup, I filled my tea ball halfway (a bit more than what would be in a bagged tea), and it was perfect! Strong, smooth and has a fabulous flavor. I do tend to steep my tea for longer periods than recommended on the package because some teas just aren't strong enough for my taste, but I don't think that will be an issue with this tea. Granted, not everyone likes their tea the way I do, but regardless, if you like a strong black tea, then you should give this one a try. I don't think you will be disappointed!

I was looking for a good basic and pure loose leaf black tea. I had been using a different high-end brand of loose leaf Assam tea but that line of tea had run out so I hunted Amazon for a replacement brand. I found that the Ghograjan Assam Breakfast was reviewed well and much more reasonably priced than my previous tea so decided to give it a go. It arrived promptly in a nice sealable bag. I was surprised when I opened it that the round "pellets" were very fine and not large. The smell was subtle but very pleasant. I like to brew my black teas in boiling water which I did in this case (using a borosilicate glass pot with a strainer over the stovetop). I used two teaspoons and once the water was boiled left it boiling for 3 minutes. The tea came out very dark and strong. It had a pleasant thick flavor (I like to add splenda and milk to my tea) but was a bit too strong. For subsequent servings I used a smaller tea leaf to water ratio and the tea has come out very flavorful, moderately strong, and pleasant. It is really a great replacement for coffee. It has a very unique flavor unlike other typical English Breakfast teas. Sometimes I mix it with a bit of English Breakfast or Earl Grey from another brand just to give it a bit more zing but it is great on its own. I do recommend adding milk as recommended on the label. All in all, an excellent, unique, very reasonably priced tea that you will enjoy. Don't hesitate to give it a try.

I love this tea. I drink strong black tea with milk, no sugar. This has a great flavor and strength, smooth and almost fruity. One teaspoon in an infuser makes a strong large mug, or small teapot. The tea is very fresh. I did try a Vahdam organic CTC black tea which I also loved, but I like the model of Ghograjan company better. I saw a review which rated it highly for tea quality and taste, and labor practices of the company. I wanted an organic tea. I usually drink Yorkshire Gold teabags, which is a good enough tea, but does not compare to this. It came within 2 days free shipping without Amazon Prime, which I do not have. I wish they sold direct and not via Amazon but I understand it's a good market for Ghograjan. I like this type of tea cut, CTC, I think it makes a superior tea and is well worth the money. Thank you to the tea producers!

I have ordered the Ghograjan Estate Assam loose breakfast tea (1 lb. size) in the past - great product. Was almost out last week, so I placed another order on Amazon, which arrived quickly. I just opened the package this morning and I wasn't sure if I was looking at tea or instant coffee. Pictured on the left is the new tea; on the right the previous order. Granulated tea? I made a quick cup, it tastes very good and it's smooth. The leaf tea package lasted a very long time. Wondering if the granules will also. Comments welcome. Thanks.

Solid Assam tea, CTC cut delivers very bold flavor. However, this flavor is one-directional, it doesn't have much going on. Watch your dosage, if you use more tea, you will end up with a lot of tannins in your brew. Another downside to this tea - it lacks in aroma IMO. This may be a good base tea to make chai, fruit tea, iced tea etc.

I recently made my first purchase of this tea and I am glad that I did. It arrived well packaged and is very fresh. It is good tea, nice quality, and as others have noted there is no dust or lots of broken leaves like you sometimes get with tea leaves. This tea is CTC, so it small curled leaves that work out well for chai. The taste is fresh, clean, and bright. There are no muddy, dull flavors, which is my favorite thing about it. If you like your tea with milk, it is a good, strong, dark tea that is great with milk. I like my tea plain and I use the same leaves to make 3 or 4 cups of tea...works great for that, too! I have a friend from Europe and she says it reminds her of the strong, black tea that is often sold there. We both give the tea five stars for taste and quality.
