Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

The aroma opens with comforting notes of malt and rich cocoa, gently lifted by delicate honeyed accents that lend warmth, sweetness, and an inviting depth to the cup.

Appearance

Dark amber

Taste

A quintessential Assam cup - bold, full-bodied, and richly malty. The liquor opens with sweet malt and notes of date palm, followed by gentle hints of dried apricot that add a delicate fruity lift. A touch of warm spice unfolds through the mid-palate, bringing depth and complexity to the brew. Creamy and velvety in texture, the cup is smooth and deeply satisfying. It finishes long and mellow, with lingering caramelized sweetness that leaves a warm, comforting impression.

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.

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.
