Tasting Notes One of our best-selling Assam blends that is relatively mellow yet incredibly flavorful. This blend brings you the best of Assam teas sourced from the oldest and most reputed estates of Assam. The leaves are medium-sized, loosely rolled, and brownish-black with a scattering of taupe buds.The brisk liquor is medium bodied and starts on a sweet clean note, delving into stronger tannic flavors in the middle. Woody characters are dominant in the cup, although notes of malt and nuts make a fleeting appearance in the middle and in the aftertaste. The finish has a note of tree fruit. A perfect cup to start the day!

We procure all our teas in their respective prime-harvest seasons, which differ according to the tea type, place of origin, season etc. Procuring these teas during their prime harvest periods means that we get the best quality teas which have an enhanced flavor, character, and freshness.

We source our teas from over 150 renowned tea plantations and small individual farms in India. Within the country, we procure from 5 popular tea-producing regions, namely : Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, and Sikkim.
How are your teas packed?
After sourcing our teas directly from plantations within hours of harvest, we bring them to our state-of-the-art tea facility in New Delhi, India. The teas then go through rigorous rounds of cleaning, sorting, quality testing to remove any impurities/dust/foreign particles. Teas then pass through a final 10+ quality check points for leaf size, aroma, liquor, flavors etc. They are then vacuum-packaged in opaque aluminium-lined bags using sophisticated machinery. These vacuum-bags are then stored in a dehumidified, temperatuere-controlled warehouse which ensures that the teas remain garden-fresh and maintain their character. Upon recieving a consumer's order, we further pack the required quantity of tea in smaller vacuum-sealed packs which are boxed in the retail boxes and then sent over to our own delivery centres located in various parts of the world.

Tasty as expected

This is my first foray into small & localized tea from mass-marketed, convenience store tea. Of the 3 varieties I've bought, I've tasted and been impressed by Halmari Clonal second flush black tea. I'm predicting the same for the other two varieties.
