The Garden

On the Brahmaputra's bank near Tezpur, Chardwar takes its name from the phrase four doors to heaven and was once owned by Maharaja Pradip Chandra Bhanj Deo of Mayurbhanj.

Revived in 2015 by Tea Promoters India, its organic and biodynamic cultivation yields teas that are bold, expressive and unmistakably Assamese, rooted in responsible farming.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Teabox chief tea taster
Aroma
Rich and inviting, with pronounced malt notes framed by caramel sweetness and subtle honeyed accents.
Appearance
Deep amber
Taste
A lively expression of Assam's spring harvest, this medium-bodied black tea is smooth, balanced and deeply satisfying.

The cup opens with sweet, malty richness, unfolding into notes of date palm and gentle cocoa. Hints of caramel weave through the liquor, adding warmth and depth, while a delicate touch of astringency brings structure and poise.

The finish is clean and lingering, leaving behind a mellow sweetness that beautifully reflects the character of Chardwar's early-season leaf.

This tea is rich, malty, and beautifully smooth

"This tea is rich, malty, and beautifully smooth — just the way a good Assam should be. I used a 15% welcome coupon, which made it even better. The package arrived a bit dented, but the inner pouch was intact. Support team responded quickly and reassured me. Definitely ordering again!"

Truly a hidden gem from Assam

Truly a hidden gem from Assam! Smooth, full-bodied, with hints of cocoa and earthiness. I did receive the package without the usual box, just the vacuum-sealed pouch, but the tea was fresh and fragrant. The team apologized and offered a small coupon for my next order — very thoughtful.

The tea quality is excellent

I got this during a flash sale and what a steal! The tea quality is excellent — rich, warming, and energizing. There was a mix-up with the tracking link, but once I emailed, they resolved it within hours. Great customer care.
