Frequently Asked Questions About Assa tea
Does Assa tea have caffeine?
Yes, Assa tea contains caffeine. The amount in a cup varies with the quantity of tea and how long it steeps, so a longer brew may feel stronger.
How do you brew Assa tea?
Steep Assa tea in freshly boiled water, then strain it. A shorter steep gives a gentler cup, while a longer steep brings out a stronger, more astringent flavor.
What does Assa tea taste like?
Assa tea has a full-bodied, robust taste that can be mildly astringent. Over-steeping makes the bitterness more pronounced, so shorten the steep if you prefer a smoother cup.
Can you add milk to Assa tea?
Yes, milk works well in Assa tea and softens its robust, astringent flavor. Brew the tea first, then add a little milk and adjust it to taste.
Is Assa tea the same as Assam tea?
Assa tea is often used to refer to Assam black tea. Assam is a tea-growing region in India; check the tea’s stated origin if you want to confirm where a particular product comes from.
Can you make iced tea with Assa tea?
Yes, Assa tea can be served iced. Brew it a little stronger than you would for a hot cup, strain it, let it cool, and pour it over ice so melting ice dilutes it less.
Does Assa tea keep you awake?
It can. Assa tea contains caffeine, which may make it harder for some people to fall asleep, especially when they drink it late in the day. If you notice this effect, have it earlier.
Can you drink Assa tea on an empty stomach?
Yes, but Assa tea may cause nausea or stomach discomfort for some people when they drink it before eating. If that happens to you, have it with food or after a meal.
Can Assa tea be reused for a second brew?
Yes, you can steep Assa tea leaves again, although the second cup will usually be milder. Re-steep them soon after the first cup rather than leaving wet leaves out for a long time.
How should you store Assa tea leaves?
Store Assa tea leaves in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors. Keeping them dry helps preserve their flavor and aroma.

What is Assa tea?
Assa tea is a robust black tea made from leaves grown in India’s Assam region. Its deep colour and full-bodied, malty taste become more pronounced with a longer brew, which can also bring out some astringency.
In Assam it is commonly enjoyed at breakfast and brewed as chai with milk and spices; elsewhere, people may drink it plain, with milk, or alongside a meal. Assa tea is naturally very low in calories when served without additions, contains caffeine and provides antioxidants. For a lighter cup, brew it briefly and skip the sugar; milk softens its brisk taste if you prefer a rounder drink.
