Assam Black Tea

Tasting Notes One of the finest summer teas, courtesy of the beautiful land of Assam, this is undoubtedly the best golden tippy tea! The long leaves are tightly-rolled and are interspersed with precious golden tips. The dark amber liquor has signature Assam attributes of being malty and sweet with top notes of ripe cherry and date palm. It starts out on a sweet, clean note with dominant woody notes in the middle and a pleasant malty undertone that sails throughout. A slight astringency accentuates the overall malty flavour of the tea.

All our premium blends are made of a variety of garden-fresh, superior quality teas sourced from their native region. We procure all our teas in their respective prime-harvest seasons, which differ according to the tea type, place of origin, season etc. Procuring these teas during their prime harvest periods means that we get the best quality teas which have an enhanced flavor, character, and freshness.

We source our teas from over 150 renowned tea plantations and small individual farms in India. Within the country, we procure from 5 popular tea-producing regions, namely : Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, and Sikkim.
How are your teas packed?

After sourcing our teas directly from plantations within hours of harvest, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then go through rigorous rounds of cleaning, sorting, quality testing to remove any impurities/dust/foreign particles. Teas then pass through a final 10+ quality check points for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. They are then vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminium-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperatuere-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Upon recieving a consumer's order, we further pack the required quantity of tea in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centres located in various parts of the world.

Fresh and delicious.

I was happy with the exporation date. Unlike the Vahdam teas I have ordered directly from Amazon, this tea had recently been picked and processed. I liked the flavor and will order this again. My wife liked it too so thats a plus!

Amazing!

I am absolutely blown away by this Assam - all the malty deliciousness without it being “dark” and heavy. It is so good and I will definitely buy it again!

Excellent Assam tea

I ordered two second flush Assam teas at the same time, Assam Gold and Assam Exotic. I'll compare them briefly. Assam Exotic costs about half as much as the Gold, and it is okay but not nearly as good as Gold. Assam Gold has lots of gold tips (I don't know what that contributes, but tea people seem to think that's important) and it has a much brighter, complex taste than Assam Exotic. By contrast Assam Exotic has kind of a flat, uninteresting flavor. Buy Assam Gold!
