Iced Assam (Behora Estate)

The Behora Estate is my favorite Assam tea. It is what you will expect from a top classic Assam--strong, full bodied and malty. It also has the hints of the sweet dates. Best of all, it is inexpensive too($6.99 for 1/4 lb.) You can't get a better Assam tea for this price!

Some like it with milk but I usually drink this tea straigt-up.

• This time I am making a 16 oz. cup. So I use 1 table spoon(3 tea spoon)


• I usually use paper tea filter to brew tea. These filters are made of abaca pulp, cellulose and sealing fibre. They are unbleached and biodegradeble. And I like to use the large size bag for both cups and pots. Advantage of using larger bags is they give the leaves more room to expend when being brewed and the result is richer taste.


• Steep it for 5 mins. in an 8oz. cup and fill the 16oz. cup with ice. Then pour the freshly brewed Assam tea into the cup.


• I did not sweeten the tea this time, but when I do sweeten the tea I use either raw/brown sugar or honey. Some times I will add a slice of lemon also.

Enjoy!!
