Background of Assam Panitola Tea

Assam Tea is made from the Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica tea plant and is exclusively grown in the Assam region of India.

The tea plantations in Assam were introduced by the British during the colonial period to create a thriving tea industry.

Located along the Brahmaputra River, which stretches from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, the region’s unique geography and climate play a pivotal role in shaping the flavour of the tea.

Assam is situated at or near sea level, benefiting from fertile, nutrient-rich soil and a hot monsoon season.

It is these factors that provide ideal growing conditions for the production of Assam tea.

These environmental factors, combined with the traditional cultivation methods, create a tea that is robust and distinctive.

Unlike green or white teas, Assam tea is more oxidized, which gives it its signature dark, rich leaf appearance.

The oxidation process imparts a full-bodied, malty flavour to the tea, along with a strong and brisk taste.

Ideal for those who enjoy a full bodied and well-balanced cup of tea.
