Assam tea

Description: Assam means ‘one without equal’ and that is really true about its teas. They say ‘you haven’t woken up fully if you haven’t sipped Assam tea’. The strong tea, grown on the rolling plains by the Brahmaputra river that weaves her way through vales and hills, is famous for its smooth malty flavor. A taste crafted by the region’s rich loamy soil, unique climate and liberal rainfall.  Assam is not just the largest contiguous tea-growing area in the world. It is also a refuge for endangered species like the One-horned Rhino, Red-headed Vulture and the Hoolock Gibbon and of course, mind-boggling diversity. It is a land that protects and preserves. Just like the Tocklai Experimental Station, the world’s oldest and largest research station of its kind, carries out clonal propagation and constant research so that the strength of the full-bodied liquor is retained. All to make sure that the tea bushes yield high quality tea. Both Orthodox and CTC (Crush/Tear/Curl) varieties of tea are manufactured here. Assam Orthodox Tea is  a registered Geographical Indication (GI).

Elevation: Teas are grown at elevations ranging from 45 to 60 metre above sea level.

Annual Rainfall: 250 to 380cm.
