What is Assam large leaf loose tea?
Assam large leaf loose tea refers to a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, specifically grown in the Assam region of India. This particular tea is characterized by its large, whole leaves that are harvested and processed with care to preserve their natural flavours and aromas. Assam tea is known for its rich, malty flavor and robust body, making it a popular choice among tea enthusiasts worldwide. The loose leaf form allows for better infusion of flavours and provides a more customizable brewing experience compared to tea bags. Assam large leaf loose tea is often enjoyed on its own or with a splash of milk, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a bold and flavorful cup of tea.
Is large leaf tea different to regular tea?
Large leaf tea, also known as whole-leaf tea, differs from regular tea in terms of the size of the tea leaves used during processing. Large leaf tea is made from whole, unbroken tea leaves that are typically sourced from the top two leaves and bud of the tea plant. These larger leaves retain more flavor and aroma compared to smaller, broken tea leaves commonly found in regular tea bags. The intact nature of large leaf tea allows for a slower infusion process, resulting in a more nuanced and flavorful cup of tea. Regular tea, on the other hand, often consists of smaller broken pieces of leaves that may not deliver the same depth of flavor or complexity as large leaf tea. Ultimately, the choice between large leaf and regular tea depends on personal preference for taste and brewing experience.
How do you brew Assam large leaf loose tea?
Assam large leaf loose tea is best brewed using hot water at a temperature of around 93°C-100°C for about 3 to 5 minutes. To prepare a delicious cup of Assam tea, start by heating water to the recommended temperature. Place about one teaspoon of Assam large leaf loose tea per cup into a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Once the steeping time is up, remove the leaves or strain the tea to stop the brewing process. You can enjoy your flavorful cup of Assam large leaf loose tea as is or add milk and sugar according to your preference. The bold and malty flavours of Assam tea make it a delightful choice for tea enthusiasts looking for a robust brew.
