Assam Black Tea Guava Orange Dill Cold Brew Recipe

Welcome back to the Kapemai Cold Brew Series, our weekly adventure where we mix, match, and experiment with teas, fruits, citrus, and herbs to discover refreshing new ways to enjoy tea. Last week we played with oolong, plum, lemon, and mint. This time, we’re bringing a bold twist to the table: Assam Black Tea with guava, orange, and dill.

Sounds unusual? That’s the fun of it. Cold brew tea is all about exploring flavors you didn’t know could work so well together. Assam’s malty depth balances guava’s tropical sweetness, orange adds a zesty brightness, and dill surprises you with a refreshing herbal note. The result? A cold brew that’s fruity, citrusy, herby, and totally unique.

Why Cold Brew Tea Is Perfect for Experiments

If you’re new to the series, here’s a quick refresher: cold brew tea is simply tea steeped slowly in cold water, usually for 12–24 hours. Compared to hot brewing, cold brew brings out smoother, less bitter, and often more layered flavors.

It’s also the best way to get creative. By following our simple formula 1 tea + 1 fruit + 1 citrus + 1 herb, you can make endless combinations. Each ingredient plays its role, but the tea always takes the lead.

And when you use a bold tea like Kapemai Assam Black, the results are unforgettable.

Assam Black Tea Guava Orange Dill Cold Brew Recipe

Here’s how to brew this week’s creation from the Kapemai Cold Brew Series:

You’ll need:

• Tea: 6–8 spoons of Kapemai Assam Black Tea
• Fruit: 1 ripe guava (the sweeter, the better)
• Citrus: 1 orange (peeled or sliced)
• Herb: A handful of fresh dill leaves
• Water: 4 cups (approx. 1 liter), cold and filtered

Steps:

1. Slice the guava and orange into chunks. (This gives them more surface area, which means more flavor infuses into your cold brew.)
2. Place Assam Black Tea, fruit, citrus, and dill in a clean jar or bottle.
3. Add 4 cups of cold water.
4. Close the lid and refrigerate for 12–24 hours (longer for a stronger flavor).
5. Strain, pour over ice, and serve.
6. Want a sweeter touch? Add sugar syrup or honey while serving.

Flavor Notes

• Assam Black Tea: Deep, malty base that holds everything together.
• Guava: Sweet, tropical, and aromatic like sunshine in a fruit.
• Orange: Adds a juicy brightness with a hint of citrus tang.
• Dill: The wild card, fresh, green, slightly tangy, and surprisingly cooling.

This isn’t your everyday iced tea. It’s bold, unexpected, and perfect for impressing friends at a brunch or simply surprising your own taste buds on a lazy afternoon.

Why Good Tea Matters for Cold Brews

Here’s the thing: no matter how creative you get with fruits, herbs, and citrus, the tea is the backbone. Using loose-leaf tea like Kapemai Assam Black ensures you get complexity, strength, and smoothness that tea dust or low-grade leaves can’t provide.

With a premium single-origin tea, your cold brew won’t just taste good; it’ll taste unforgettable.
