This tea grows in one of the most famous tea gardens of this region. This strong and malty dream of a second flush Assam, enjoyed with cream and rock sugar, is ideal for cosy evenings by the fireplace. This tea has a typically large Assamica leaf that is well-processed with lots of golden tips. A spicily malty scent unfolds from the deeply copper-coloured cup.

The Hunwal Garden is located in Jorhat, in the Indian State of Assam, south of the river Brahmaputra. The relatively low altitude of about 1,000 m above sea-level, which is atypical of Assam, and the resulting cooler day- and night time temperatures and the inherent slower growth of the plants guarantee very rich, strong qualities. This well-processed tea is from the second plucking period. It is very spicy and strong, with a distinct aftertaste and a malty and harmonious bouquet.

For some years now, this rather small tea plantation from the eastern Assam valley has been producing very nice, organic qualities. The Tonganagaon Estate is located at the edge of the Namdapha natural reserve, which is known worldwide for its biodiversity. A delicate leaf structure with golden tips and an infusion, which impresses with its smooth, expressive bouquet and a spicily scented aroma with malty touches. The copper-shining infusion is reflected in the cup.

A nicely priced, good consumer quality for daily use. We blend this Assam leaf blend in our facilities using select Assam qualities that are chosen from different tea plantations in the country of origin. The infusion of these black, well-processed leaves with light tips is strong and dark and has an earthy, spicy taste and a malty note. The scent is spicy and strong.

Right towards the end of the harvest, at the end of August, any surplus teas are offered at very attractive conditions. However, we don’t simply care for the price, rather, we especially look for teas with an expressive, long, black leaf, a medium, copper-coloured cup and a slightly spicy, malty character. Ideal for beginners and price-sensitive tea drinkers.

A classical Assam from the second plucking period from one of the top plantations of the region. For almost 100 years now, excellent teas have been produced here, just like our quality with its wiry, colourful leaf and the strong and spicy flavour with a rich, malty character. A real delicacy, either drunk pure or with Kluntje (rock sugar) and cream, like in Eastern Frisia. It should definitely form part of any upscale tea assortment.

It was by purely by chance that we found this very exceptional quality. All used tea shrubs are at least 20-30 years old P-126 Clones from the famous “Sessa” section. Especially skilled staff plucks the leaves in the early morning hours, followed by an 85% leaf selection, the so-called “final-leaf count”. Withering takes place on small bamboo sheets on shelves with a leaf layer of only up to 2.5 cm. This helps the flavours and tannins to unfold wonderfully. The subsequent rolling is done by small, corrugated rollers which results in the distinct, finely rolled leaf structure. Oxidation is done at only 26°C, but longer than usual. The final drying phase takes place on smaller shelves which preserves the light-coloured leaf tips and captures the full flavour. This tea delights with its delicate elegance and hints of plums, apricots and dark chocolate instead of the usual heavy spiciness of Assam teas. A special treat for purists…
