Assam Teas

Please choose from the following teas:

ASSAM FOP BUKHIAL – This is a classic luxury Assam tea (tippy golden flowery orange pekoe grade) with a traditional leaf style. Produced from the Bukhial estate during June, this tea embodies the flavour one expects from a top Assam tea estate. The infusion is very bright and golden coppery. Medium strength.

ASSAM GBOP HUNWAL – Superb growing conditions make this orthodox style luxury black tea (golden broken orange pekoe grade) from the Hunwal estate consistently excellent. The leaf is well graded and nicely twisted offering a bright liquor with deep notes of malt and layers of astringency. The rich flavorful cup is excellent with a dash of milk and is the perfect companion to a traditional English breakfast. Medium to strong.

ASSAM GFBOP ZALONI – This luxury black tea (golden flowery broken orange pekoe grade) from the Zaloni estate is grown on the banks of mighty Brahmaputra. The tea has a deep amber color and creamy malty character with sweet fruity and mild honeyed notes, making it a delight anytime of the day but best enjoyed in morning. Medium to strong.

ASSAM CTC SOONGACHI – Soongachi means ‘Golden Tree’ in Bengali, the home of this robust tea. CTC is a type of tea prepared by the Cut-Torn-Curled method. It is a strong tea and high in caffeine. Strong.

ASSAM FTGFOP MOKALBARI (Tea Total) – A large leaf tea with lots of golden tips, the taste is malty and smooth. This is a first quality tea full of elegance. Medium strength.

ASSAM HARMUTTY STGFOP1 – This luxury black tea (special tippy golden flowery orange pekoe grade) from the Harmutty estate is grown at the foothills of the Himalayas along the Dikrong River. (This is the same tea estate that NZ Live sourced its Morning Kick Assam tea from.) Velvety and deeply flavourful, its dark, tippy leaves brew a full-bodied cup. The dark copper infusion delivers a robust yet balanced malt flavour. Medium to strong.
