Tasting Notes
Here’s a signature summer tea from one of the finest estates in Assam in the Northeastern region of India. This brisk, earthy tea has an exceptionally well-balanced sweet and sour flavour profile that never disappoints. The leaves are tightly-rolled, with blackish brown hues, and a few olive green and brown flakes. The smooth yet brisk liquor has a rich mouthfeel and a smooth texture. It carries notes of wood that are evident in the middle, made buoyant by the hint of astringency, while a distant note of waxy flower sails throughout.

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.
