Why We Love It

1947 Assam is a classic black tea with a name that carries a small piece of history. The year 1947 marks India’s independence, and this blend is our nod to the country behind one of the world’s great black tea traditions. In the cup, it is exactly what many Assam drinkers are looking for: bold, malty, smooth, and dependable. It has enough strength to take milk, but enough character to drink plain if you like tasting the tea itself. We keep this one on the shelf because it is useful in all the right ways β€” a steady morning cup, a strong iced tea base, and an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a familiar black tea that still has real flavor.

Brewing Notes

  • Use 1 teaspoon per cup and steep 3–5 minutes with freshly boiled water.
  • A shorter steep keeps the cup smoother; a longer steep brings out more malt and strength.
  • Add milk if you like a rounder breakfast-style cup.
  • For iced tea, brew a little stronger (two to three times as much tea) and pour over ice.
