Product line Discovery

A classic Indian black tea with a distinctly full and powerful character. Assam is known for its deep color, strong body, and robust flavor that immediately makes its presence felt in the cup.

Grown in Assam’s warm, humid valley, rich soils and abundant rainfall drive fast leaf growth and intensity. The result is a tea that is full, rounded and expressive—without losing its balance.

The Strength of the Valley

Assam is inseparable from its landscape. In the wide valley of the Brahmaputra River, a warm and humid climate prevails — fundamentally different from other tea regions. Here, tea bushes grow low, vigorous, and fast, nourished by rich soils and heavy rainfall.

These conditions produce leaves with weight and structure. Through full oxidation, Assam develops its signature depth: malty, dark, and rounded, with a solid body that makes itself known immediately in the cup. Not subtlety built with restraint, but strength that arises naturally.

Assam is a tea that carries. It warms, fills, and holds its ground, even when paired with milk or spices. This is not a tea of silence or delicacy, but of earth and momentum — an unfiltered expression of place.
