Taste
Located between the Jeypore protected biosphere and the Burhi Dehing River in Upper Assam, Namsang tea estate offers an exceptional tea that's truly worth savoring. From the first sip, you'll encounter a robust and pleasantly supple infusion that instantly delights the senses.

The cup opens with a delightful burst of malt, which gradually unveils subtle sweet accents reminiscent of date palm, perfectly mingled with a cocoa-like texture towards the middle. This intricate interplay of flavors adds a layer of depth and a beautifully well-rounded feel to the liquor.

As you savor the tea, you'll notice furtive stone-fruity accents emerging towards the finish, creating a memorable and lingering experience that stays with you long after the last sip.

Perfect tea

I didn’t taste all the teas I got myself - and being a tea-enthusiast, drinking lose leaf teas forever I can say, this is one of the best I brewed. Yet. I’ll definitely come back for more. I just hope the fair producing story is true and not just a marketing gag.

Always assam

I like to add milk so want a substantial leaf, large too. This was a good base tea and agreeable with others for a different taste as well as on its own.

Another special brick on the wall

Halmari hits you immediately as a great tea but it took some time to appreciate our second order, Namsang Summer black. Learning to improve preparation process to get the best of the flavour. This is also very good Assam tea. I really like the mentioning of Year to help us learn the importance of freshness. Great vacuum sealing. Teabox is a great help in my experiments...with Tea, ofcourse
