Malty Tea FAQs
-
What does malty tea mean?
A malty tea has a deep, rounded flavour reminiscent of toasted grain, honey and sometimes dried fruit. It is a hallmark of well-made black tea, especially from Assam. For strength and character, our Assam Breakfast has bold malt notes with a touch of raisin, and our breakfast tea collection offers more. -
Should malty tea be drunk with milk?
It is a classic pairing. A malty black tea has the body to stand up to milk without losing its character, which is why Assam and Ceylon breakfast teas are traditional milk teas. Prefer it plain? Smoother malty styles, such as Ceylon Breakfast, also reward a cup without milk. -
Does malty tea have a lot of caffeine?
Malty teas are black teas, so they contain caffeine, generally less than coffee, though the amount varies with the leaf and how long it infuses. If you love the flavour but want less caffeine, Decaffeinated Ceylon offers soothing clove and malt notes. Our decaffeinated tea collection shows the full choice. -
What is the difference between Assam, Ceylon and Yunnan malty teas?
Assam is bold and brisk with raisin notes, Ceylon is smoother with a hint of citrus peel, and Yunnan Breakfast is deep and honeyed with berry notes. All are malty but each is distinct. Read Assam vs Ceylon Breakfast Tea for a closer comparison.
