How to make Assam Leaf Tea
Making the perfect cup of Assam leaf tea requires precision and care. You need them to fully capture the tea’s essence and flavors. Here’s how to do it:
- Boil Water: Begin by boiling fresh water. For the best taste, use spring or filtered water, as it’s free from additives that could alter the flavour of the tea.
- Warm the Teapot: Pour some of the boiled water in and swirl it around. Then, discard it. This step warms the pot, helping maintain the temperature during brewing.
- Measure the Tea: Use about one teaspoon per cup. Adjust to taste, but remember, the beauty of it lies in its robust flavour profile.
- Brew the Tea: Add the leaves to the pot and pour hot water over them. Aim for a temperature of around 90°C to 95°C (194°F to 203°F). Too hot, and the tea might brew too quickly, becoming bitter.
- Steep the Tea: Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste preference. A short steep time makes the tea lighter. A long steep brings out its full body.
- Strain and Serve: Use a tea strainer as you pour the tea into cups to catch any leaves. Enjoy your plain, or add milk and sugar to taste.
Caffeine Content
One cup has 60-110 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving. It is one of the most caffeinated teas. This high caffeine level is part of what gives it its invigorating quality. It is a great choice for those looking for a morning or midday pick-me-up.
Remember, people vary in their sensitivity to caffeine. So, adjust the amount you consume to your own tolerance.
Storage Advice
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the tea leaves away from strong odours to avoid absorbing unwanted flavours.
- To maintain freshness, store in an airtight container after opening.
