Indian Assam

This classic full-bodied Indian black tea is great any time of day and ideal with milk and sugar. This unflavored tea complements any menu with its brisk, earthy flavor and slight cocoa notes. A must for your tea pantry, Indian Assam is gluten-free and available in a small tin that makes about 30 cups of tea or a large flexible bag.

My Cup of Tea is a Memphis nonprofit. Each purchase supports jobs for women of color in the historic Black neighborhood of Orange Mound.
