Sunrise Assam Tea

The “Get It Together” Tea

This is the tea you grab when you need caffeine with a side of snap out of it. It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s here to wake you up without wrecking your stomach like coffee sometimes does.

Kondoli Assam lays down the malty, no-nonsense base—the kind that can handle a splash of milk if that’s your style. Orange peel cuts through with a citrusy zing (don’t worry, it’s more “fresh” than “floor cleaner”), while cranberries bring the tart drama. Hibiscus gives it that deep ruby color, and rooibos steps in to smooth things out without turning it into dessert.

What Makes Our Sunrise Assam Tea Special?

• Kondoli Assam base: Kondoli is a specific growing area within the Assam region known for producing particularly full-bodied black tea. Malty and bold — the kind that holds up to milk without disappearing into it.
• Real orange peel, not flavoring: Dried orange peel, not artificial orange flavoring. It smells like you zested a real orange into the jar.
• Whole leaf, not dust: Loose leaf means actual tea leaves that unfurl when they steep. Smoother and more complex than what comes out of a bag.
• 40–70mg caffeine per cup: Black tea from India, brewed to strength. Enough to be useful in the morning; easy enough on the stomach that it won't wreck you the way coffee sometimes does.
• Hot or iced: Brew it standard in winter. Brew double-strength and pour over ice in summer — the melting ice dilutes it to drinking strength.
• 20 servings per jar: 3.2oz of loose leaf in a recyclable glass jar. Less packaging waste than boxes of individually wrapped bags.

If you need a morning tea that actually does something, this is it — order Sunrise Assam and see why loose leaf Assam has been the go-to breakfast tea in Britain for over a century.

Brewing Instructions: Hot: Brew at 212°F with 1 tsp per 8oz, steep 4 mins. For stronger tea, use more leaves, not time. Iced: Brew double-strength, pour over ice. Cold brew: Steep 2 tsp in room temp water overnight, strain for a smoother cup. Add milk and honey for a classic British-style brew.

All of our teas are gluten-free, although not all of our teas, botanicals, and other ingredients come from gluten-free certified suppliers.
