“I like to just throw these leaves into the bottom of a large tea cup and then wait - yes stir a couple of times and then wait for the leaves to settle at the bottom. And then enjoy. I even like to chew the leaves left at the bottom of the cup. It is astonishing how different the leaves look after hydration. Looking at them really makes you think of those rolling tea plantations and of the leaves being picked.”
“Assam large leaf loose tea is what I use first thing in the morning and last thing at night although I make it stronger in the morning. Easy to do when using loose tea. Just throw the tea in the cup or pot and give it a few stirs and then go and do a bit of washing up. When you get back give a final stir and leave to settle for a minute then enjoy.”
“I do believe that this is my favourite tea of all. You can just throw a teaspoon of leaves into a cup and stir a couple of times and then wait for a minute or two - no, longer actually, it does take a little more time to brew than the others - for a really tasty brew. I even chew the leaves that are left in the bottom of the cup instead of having a biscuit - or two. So good for the diet.”
“I love this tea for a quick brew when I just throw some tea leaves in a cup and add boiling water without the need for an infuser. Am always amazed by how large the hydrated tea leaves become which I end up chewing on to prolong the pleasure.”
“This is my second order of Assam large leaf. Initially I was putting the tea leaves in an infuser and it was coming out on the weak side (suitable for late night tea). Latterly I have simply been putting a heaped teaspoon straight into my tea cup and stirring it around for a bit and it is absolutely gorgeous - strong and tasty early morning tea. Also brilliant in a tea pot with visitors. I am astonished how much tea appears to be left in the cup/pot when it is totally hydrated and how large the tea leaves are. They are even tasty to chew after the tea is finished! I would avoid putting this tea into an infuser as there is not enough room for the leaves to expand and diffuse their taste.”
“Already a convert to Assam regular loose tea I thought I would try this. The tea didn't seem quite so strong or malty using large leaf but nonetheless it is a good start the day tea. I certainly feel like it's nice to try something different but will probably re-order the standard Assam.”
