Terroir & Production

Assam stretches along the banks of the Brahmaputra River in north-eastern India. The region’s low elevation, high humidity and heavy monsoon rains nurture broad-leafed tea bushes that thrive in its fertile alluvial soil. Harvested during the second flush, when the leaves are at their most flavourful, Assam’s teas are renowned for their bold, malty character and deep colour born of this lush, tropical landscape.
