Instructions: 100 C for 3 to 5 minutes
Assamese tea has a bold, dark infusion with enough strength to hold up to milk and sugar with out compromising it's taste. The tea trees from Assam are native shrubs. When the British introduced the idea of cultivating tea in India, they imported a sturdy Chinese variety. After many failed attempts, they conceded that the native bush was indeed best suited to the geography of Assam.
Like the British, Indians like their tea strong and as a result, black tea is higher in caffeine than other types of tea. However, there is a way to decaffeinate any tea with 3 easy steps.
1- Pour hot water over tea leaves
2- Let sit for 30 seconds and drain the water
3- Pour more hot water over the leaves and steep as usual.
Easy and takes just a minute longer than usual to enjoy a cup of caffeine free tea.
