The Garden

Set along the fertile north bank of the Brahmaputra in Upper Assam, Koilamari crafts orthodox teas combining classic Assam richness with a remarkable sense of elegance.

Warm days and cool evenings deepen the leaf, and its summer harvest bursts with ripe raspberry preserve layered over honeyed malt, stone fruit, soft wood and cocoa.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

An inviting bouquet of ripe raspberry preserve leads the way, layered with rich Assam malt and creamy vanilla. Freshly baked biscotti lends a warm, comforting sweetness, while delicate floral nuances add elegance and lift to the fragrant cup.

Appearance

Amber

Taste

Medium-bodied, bright and beautifully layered, the cup opens with luscious notes of raspberry preserve that immediately enliven the palate. As the liquor unfolds, a rich undercurrent of honeyed Assam malt provides warmth and structure, complemented by succulent dried stone fruit and delicate peach nuances. A gentle interplay of sweetness and soft tartness carries through to the finish, where fleeting hints of grape and buttery confection lend added complexity. The aftertaste is long, clean and fruit-forward, with lingering impressions of raspberry and sweet malt that invite 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.

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.

Very pleasant

This is a very pleasant tea. I was sceptical at first since it had an element of "cocoa", since you often find that in tea that is more "nutty", and I am not too fond of that.
For me, that element is hardly detectable and more on the pleasing side.
The tea doesn't stand out in any direction with any particular taste, other than being on the sweet side, but that is also its strength.
It is great wether I steep it in cup or teapot.
