Assam black tea is the base most bubble tea shops start with, and for good reason. Wholesale pricing available in bulk packs.
 
The Classic Milk Tea Base
Malty, full-bodied, and naturally robust, Assam black tea leaves are the traditional foundation for milk tea. Unlike lighter teas such as jasmine green or oolong, Assam holds up well against milk, sugar, and toppings without losing its flavour, making it the go-to base for classic milk tea, brown sugar drinks, and taro milk tea.
 
Why Shops Choose Assam First
If you're building a bubble tea menu from scratch, Assam is typically the first tea base to stock. It's versatile enough to anchor both your signature milk tea and simpler fruit tea blends, giving you one ingredient that covers multiple menu items.
 
Sourced and Brewed for Consistency
Selected from prime harvesting seasons, our Assam black tea leaves are processed to deliver a consistent strength and colour, cup after cup. Easy to brew in bulk, with a stable shelf life that suits high-volume kitchens.
