Moderate Caffeine Takes Milk Well Tea-Forward Classic Tea

Afternoon Assam is a classic black tea with a bold, malty character and moderate caffeine. Smooth enough to drink plain and sturdy enough for milk, it is a satisfying cup for mornings or afternoon breaks.

Why We Love It

Afternoon Assam is for the tea drinker who wants Assam’s malty depth in a smoother, more measured cup. It still has the bold character Assam is known for, but it does not come in swinging the way some breakfast teas do. That is where the “afternoon” part comes in: satisfying enough for morning, steady enough for a work break, and smooth enough to enjoy later in the day. We love it as an everyday black tea because it has range. Drink it plain when you want to taste the natural malt, add milk when you want a classic comfort cup, or sweeten it lightly if that is part of your black tea ritual.
