About this tea

A full-bodied black tea layered with natural rose petals. The base is a classic Assam: malty, rounded, and strong enough to carry a splash of milk. Rose petals are folded in after sorting, and they soften the edges of the cup rather than perfume it. You taste the tea first, then a quiet floral finish.

The leaf comes from Monabari Tea Garden near Biswanath in the Brahmaputra Valley, at around 325 feet. The valley's heat and humidity push the bushes hard through June, and that stress is what builds the thickness and malt that Assam is known for. This batch was plucked between 8 and 13 June 2026 and tinned within weeks of harvest.

How we brew it: one rounded teaspoon per cup, water just off the boil, three to four minutes. It takes milk and sugar well, and it holds its own without either. If you like a stronger cup, add more leaf rather than more time, because long steeps turn Assam bitter before they turn it strong.

Each tin belongs to a single numbered batch, with the garden, plucking window, and elevation printed on the label. When this batch runs out, the next one will taste slightly different, and we think that is the point.

How to brew
  • Hot 2.5g of leaf to 200ml of water at 95°C. Steep 3 to 4 min.
  • Iced Double the leaf, steep as usual, then pour over a full glass of ice.
  • With milk Steep a minute longer, then add warm milk to taste.
  • Again Re-steep the same leaf 2 times or more, adding 30 seconds each time.

“A proper Assam, strong enough for milk, with rose petals to soften the edges. My answer to a grey morning.”

Why Maison Kettle is worth it

Most tea is sold as dust and fannings, the smallest broken pieces left after sorting. Whole leaf keeps its oils, so it tastes of something, and one spoonful gives you more than one cup.
