Origin

 Nestled along the Brahmaputra River, Assam is known for its rich, loamy soil, tropical climate, and high humidity—ideal conditions for producing strong, flavourful black tea.

The region’s tea plants belong to the Camellia sinensis var. assamica variety, which is naturally more robust than its Chinese counterpart.

Assam tea is fully oxidised, resulting in its signature dark leaf appearance and rich, malty cup. First introduced by the British during the colonial era, Assam remains one of the world’s most important black tea regions to this day.
