Assam tea is is our delicious second flush (best quality!) tea grown in North East India. It's known for its rich, malty and bold flavour. Perfect at anytime but especially with a hearty breakfast or as a base for chai! Available loose - put in the pot or use one of our tea inusers available online.
We recommend brewing for 3 mins to allow the malty flavour to develop (but your preference wins!). This tea is best drunk with milk or a dairy alternative. Enjoy!
Tea is good for you. Tea comes in a myriad of flavours. Tea is grown in beautiful places by passionate people. Tea brings us together. We want to champion tea for all its worth through our expertise, experience and award winning products so that people rebuild an emotional connection with tea again.
...but in a good way! Every year The Guild of Fine Foods runs The Great Taste Awards, a brilliant scheme for accrediting fine food and drink. Some categories, like tea and herbal beverages, need specialist tasters on the judging panel and that’s where we come in. We’ve also entered some of our teas and come back with 5 stars so far. But before you say anything, we can’t judge categories that our teas are entered in. That would be naughty!!!
OUR APPROACH TO PACKAGING
We are passionate about transparency and doing the right thing. One of our priorities is ensuring we are plastic free. Our pouches, tea 'pillows' and labels are commercially compostable and can be put in your food waste bin. Our postal packaging is recyclable. We're not perfect and will always strive to improve. We want warm glows when drinking a Two Spoons brew.

We’ve developed a range of single origin and blended teas that we love. They are from places we’ve been to or people we know. We’ve targeted specific growing regions and seasons to showcase our teas’ best attributes. So, put the kettle on and enjoy!

Bungalow Blend is a great tea with a super flavour. Have bought a number of times already for myself and as presents. Will continue to do so. Give it a try!
Assam teais unique, it's as simple as that! It is known for its strength and malty flavour. The best quality is grown in June, July and August, often referred to as the 'second flush' It is often used by tea tasters to add depth and body to the blends they are creating. Our English Breakfast,BucksandBungaloware two great examples of that.

In our blog we talk about how matcha is made, what makes a good matcha and how to make a matcha latte. And did you know you can use it to make smoothies, cakes and icecreams???
It all starts here – from the tea bush. There is a saying in tea that you can’t make good tea out of bad leaf. In other words, good quality is dependent on good agricultural practices.
THE FACTORY
This is where the plucked leaves get turned into dried tea and then packed into sacks. Different processes will take place depending on the type of tea being manufactured.
THE WAREHOUSE
Tea is stored in warehouses until they are ready for shipment. Tea is loaded into containers at the warehouse. This is Chai Trading in Mombasa.
THE PORT OF DEPARTURE
After the tea is containerised it is loaded on board huge container ships. Shipments have to be planned carefully because sometimes vessels only call in at port for a short time.
THE SHIP
Our teas leave from the ports of Colombo, Mombasa and Kolkata. They take between 4-6 weeks to arrive.
THE PORT OF ARRIVAL
The containers are unloaded at Felixstowe and then warehoused.
BLENDING
The containers are unloaded at Felixstowe and then warehoused. Our tea is blended by our friend Will at Fine Tea Merchants. Not only is he a forklift wizard, he literally wrote the book on tea!
