A great, unusual black tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is the only black tea I drink. It is earthy yet smooth, and slightly smoky. If you like scotch you just might like this tea. I have loved this tea for, well, decades. I'm glad to be able to order it online since I can't find it in any stores here. Enjoy!

My Go-To tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have been purchasing this tea for at least 5 years and drink it when I don't want a flavored tea. I add a little sweetener and 1/2 and 1/2 and feel like I'm having a me moment when I drink it. I find it very soothing. It has a smooth, malty flavor.

This tea, a blanket, and a good book = a marvelous morning
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This was my go-to tea years ago, and I've been wanting to try it again and see if it lived up to my memory of it. Spoiler alert: it absolutely does! It's perfect for early mornings curled up on the couch with a good book and a mug of tea. I steep it for four minutes, then add in a spoon of maple syrup and a splash of milk. Definitely my number one choice for a cozy cup of tea.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have purchased Organic Assam Breakfast several times as it is one of my favorite teas. It is the most satisfying tea to drink anytime of the day. Sometimes I add sugar or a splash of milk and I love it! I have shared this and other teas from Republic of Tea with family and friends and they love all the teas, too. They only purchase from Republic of Tea!

Light and Crisp
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I’m a huge fan of strong black teas, but sometimes I like something slightly more subtle, and that’s where I love the Assam tea! It’s a lovely, full-bodied black tea that enjoyable both hot or cold, but it’s so clean and crisp tasting and a bit more mellow than an English or Irish breakfast. A teaspoon of raw honey and I’m good to go!

Avid Black Tea Drinker Loves!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I drink at least 2 tall cups of black tea every morning and sometimes I have an afternoon black tea as well. I often try new ones that come across my path, but I always come back to this particular Assam. It is truly satisfying!

The price point for the bulk packaging is great - we drink a lot of this tea. We appreciate that there is less waste in packaging of the product and it is easy to compost.

Deep,malty deliciousness
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

For over 30 years I was hooked on Fortune&Masons earl grey with lapsong souchong. Startling to me this tea & the brick Pureh's are taking over. It's deepness, slightly smoky , malty liquor is magnificent. Thanks for opening my perspective.

Organic Assam Breakfast

Really mild with boiling water and 5 minute steep covered. This tea is ok, not strong enough taste for my liking.

Amazingly smooth!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is full-bodied, but not a hint of bitterness. It is smooth tasting no matter how strong I brew it. I used to drink a green tea, but I'm seriously addicted to this stuff -- morning AND afternoon!

Assam Breakfast Black Tea
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I think that this is a bit better than Irish or English Breakfast Tea. But, as mentioned in an earlier review, I think that I am just not a true black tea enthusiast. I am kind of a "middle of the roader" in that Darjeeling is the one tea that I prefer above all others. And it has a flavor that combines the best of green and black all in one. The uniquely mild and delicious flavor of Darjeeling truly makes it the "champagne of teas." But Assam is good, just not my favorite.

My New Favorite
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Pomberry Black Hi-Caf was my go-to for several years, but I recently switched to this Assam as I got a little tired of my black tea being too fruity. The Assam is smooth - the perfect morning cup or two.

I'm Not Saying I'm a Black Tea Snob...
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

...but I'm pretty picky when it comes to black tea and more so with breakfast teas. Irish Breakfast, British Breakfast, they are all pretty good but this one checks all of my boxes: deep flavor, brews nice dark without taking on too much bitterness, beautiful aroma, holds up to milk (dairy or nut). I love it so much that I'm considering buying in bulk.

smooth
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love Assam tea! Most black tea's tend to dry my throat out. The best word i can use to describe Assam tea is smooth. Hot and black or with a little cream it's great at breakfast. This tea is also great cold.

A bit too smooth for me
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I have been drinking British Breakfast for years and love it. However, I really want to drink an organic tea, so I tried the Organic Assam. As other reviewers have said, this is very smooth, never bitter. However, it doesn't have the depth of flavor that I love so much in British Breakfast. I've tried steeping it for a long time, and it just doesn't have that full-bodied flavor. If you don't love tea, than this is the tea for you ;)

I am not a review writer, but this tea has me needing to express my deepest feelings! I just received my tea, followed directions and stepped one of the best tasting cups of tea that I have had since drinking tea in china town. It relaxed me and I know now that this will be the only place I ever buy tea from!!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite teas, rich, stands well and blends nicely with other flavors. I'm sorry it doesn't come with a decaf variant, caffeinated I can't drink it as much as I'd like to!

Excellent Black Tea Variety
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

This Assam has a rich strong smooth flavor--not as flavorful or as strong as some I've had--but very good. Perhaps the bulk Assam would have a stronger flavor. One sign of an excellent black tea that this Assam has is no bitterness or aftertaste even after lengthy brewing time. An all around good black!

The PERFECT black tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I think this is the most perfect cup of black tea in existence. I love, love, love to drink this both plain and with honey. This is the only plain black tea that I've ever been able to brew strong enough--I like very strong black tea. The only way it could possibly get better would be if a decaf version was offered.

Bulk Packaging Might Cause Flavor Loss
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

Recently purchased bulk bags of Assam and Mango Ceylon and found both to be less punchy in flavor and strength. Surprisingly, as hard as it may seem to believe, each tasted like the other despite being of different varities. The individual 50 bag containers, which brought me to Reublic of Tea to begin with, may be the better way to go.
