Story

Established in 1878, Harmutty Tea Estate is one of Assam's oldest and most esteemed tea gardens. Located in North Lakhimpur along the banks of the Dikrong River and bordered by the forests of Arunachal Pradesh, the estate benefits from fertile soils and an exceptional terroir that produces teas with remarkable depth and character.

Steeped in local folklore, Harmutty is believed to be named after Queen Hiramati, wife of King Arimatta, with her burial mound still found near the estate's Maj Bungalow. Over the decades, the garden has earned a reputation for crafting outstanding orthodox Assam teas that beautifully reflect the region's heritage.

Known for its premium clonal varietals, including P126 and N436, Harmutty consistently produces distinctive, full-bodied teas prized by tea lovers around the world. Surrounded by pristine forests and abundant wildlife, the estate continues to uphold its legacy of quality while capturing the true spirit of Assam in every harvest.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

The aroma opens with rich, comforting notes of malt, layered with the gentle sweetness of yellow raisins and rounded off by a delicate hint of dark chocolate, creating a warm and inviting bouquet.

Appearance

Dark Amber

Taste

The cup opens with a bold, malty richness that defines a fine Assam summer tea, complemented by notes of date palm and a touch of honeyed sweetness. As it unfolds, layers of ripe stone fruit and yellow raisins emerge, adding depth and a gentle fruity lift to the robust liquor.

Full-bodied and velvety, the infusion coats the palate with a smooth, satisfying texture, while a lively briskness keeps the cup bright and refreshing. The finish is long and warming, with lingering hints of malt and soft cocoa that gracefully fade, inviting another sip.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

Where is Assam located?

Assam lies in northeastern India, nestled in the fertile Brahmaputra River valley. Its tropical climate, rich alluvial soil, and protection from the Eastern Himalayas create ideal conditions for growing robust, full-bodied teas. The region is also part of a global biodiversity hotspot.

How would you describe the flavor profile of Assam teas?

Assam teas are known for their bold, malty character, full-bodied texture, and briskness. Grown under intense heat and humidity, these teas offer a rich, comforting depth—often likened to the maltiness of a fine beer.

What are Golden Tips in Assam teas?

Golden Tips are tender, unopened leaf buds with a golden hue, covered in soft down. These prized tips lend a creamy texture, delicate sweetness, and added depth to the cup—making such teas highly sought after.

Which are the key tea-growing regions in Assam?

Some of the finest teas come from regions like Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Jorhat, Golaghat, Sibsagar, and Cachar. Each area imparts subtle differences in flavor, shaped by local soil and climate.

What’s the caffeine level in Assam teas?

Assam black teas contain moderate to high caffeine—typically 40–70 mg per 6 oz cup.

The exact level depends on leaf grade, type (CTC vs. orthodox), and steeping method. These teas are ideal for a morning boost or a mid-day pick-me-up.

Is this tea suitable for multiple infusions?

Assam black teas are typically best enjoyed in a single infusion to capture their bold, full-bodied character.

What foods pair well with this tea?

Its malty richness pairs beautifully with buttered toast, dark chocolate, almond biscotti, or savory breakfast dishes. It’s also excellent with a splash of milk alongside tea cakes.

Excellent refreshing tea

Excellent refreshing tea

Love it

I love the malty flavour and lower astringency. So far my favourite.

Wonderful teas and chais

I am very happy I came across teabox on Facebook. It has allowed me to discover amazing black teas in their purest and freshest nature and wonderful chais with all strength of flavors. The Assam masala chai is just the most surprisingly and balanced blend of spices.

Pleasant Tea

I've been testing several Assam teas from Teabox. This one seems to be winning. Very pleasant taste for a black tea. Love it!

Great value for Malt Monsters

If you like loose leaf, classic malty Assam teas, this is a great value. Malty, with notes of Date and other fruits, this is our go to morning cup. Great with a little honey or agave syrup

Malty satisfying assam

This was my pick of the sampler pack. Better than much more expensive teas. Really good with raw sugar, complements the flavor palate.

Quality Tea

This makes a very nuanced and balanced cup of tea. The perfect way to start a morning.

My morning kindness to myself

Dependable, full-flavor tea to start any day with beauty and strength

Harmutty is my go-to...

Harmutty is my go-to morning tea because it's malty, strong, and perfect with toast and homemade marmalade. I brew it only 3-4 minutes to lessen the caffeine a bit but it still has plenty of aroma and flavor.
