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.

Dinjoye Spring Black surprised me

Dinjoye Spring Black surprised me — it's smooth and strong without bitterness. Ideal for my morning chai with milk. My order was slightly delayed due to courier issues, but the support team was super responsive and courteous. Got it with a discount too, so I'm happy overall.

The tea is excellent

The tea is excellent — rich and full-bodied, just what I expect from a quality Assam. However, the outer box arrived with a dent. Thankfully, the inner pouch was intact. Customer service was quick to respond and even offered a small future-use coupon. A class act.

Amazing tea! Robust, malty, and energizing

Amazing tea! Robust, malty, and energizing. It’s great both plain and with a splash of milk. I used a discount code which made it a steal. Packaging was simple but effective — arrived safe despite the long journey. I’ll definitely be ordering a larger pack next time.
