YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

Where is Assam located ?

Assam, in northeastern India, features a vast river valley nourished by the Brahmaputra. Its fertile plains support thriving tea gardens, while the southern region benefits from the Himalayas' protection, creating ideal conditions for tea cultivation.

Shaped by the mountains, the flood plains enhance fertility. Assam's diverse landscapes make it a global biodiversity hotspot.

What is the time-period of Summer manufacture in Assam ?

In Assam, the Summer tea manufacturing period typically spans from early-June to mid-July. This period corresponds to the second flush, a significant harvesting season in Assam.

The warm and humid weather during these months is conducive to the rapid growth of tea plants, resulting in the production of high-quality leaves.

The second flush teas are known for their distinctive flavor characteristics, often described as malty, bold, and full-bodied.

How would you describe the flavor profile of Assam teas ?

Assam teas are renowned for their robust and distinctive flavor profile, shaped by the region's tropical climate characterized by intense heat, humidity, and abundant rainfall.

The resulting processed leaves yield a characteristically strong, full-bodied, and malty tea, reminiscent of the maltiness found in a good beer.

What do you mean by Golden Tips in Assam teas ?

Golden Tips in Assam teas are characterized by the presence of delicate, golden-colored buds or tips, often showcasing a visual elegance.

These young, unopened leaf buds are covered with fine, downy hairs, contributing to their prized quality.

The preservation of these expensive buds adds complexity and a creamy, full-bodied texture to the tea, making Golden Tip Assams highly sought after by discerning tea enthusiasts.

What are the major tea growing areas in Assam from where you source teas?

Assam boasts several prominent tea-growing areas, each contributing to the distinctive character of Assam teas.

Golaghat, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sibsagar, and Cachar are key regions renowned for top-quality tea estates in the region.

What is the recommended steeping method for this tea ?

1. Begin by heating water to around 185°F-194°F (85°C-90°C).
2. Place 2 teaspoons of tea leaves in a teapot or infuser.
3. Pour the hot water over the leaves
4. Let them steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy sipping.

Experimenting with steeping times will reveal different nuances in the tea, offering a personalized and enjoyable tasting experience.

What is the caffeine level in Assam teas ?

Assam teas are known for their relatively high caffeine content.

On average, a cup of Assam tea contains approximately 40 to 70 milligrams of caffeine per 6-ounce (180-milliliter) serving. However, the exact caffeine content can vary based on factors such as the specific type of Assam tea (CTC, orthodox, green, etc.), the tea leaf grade, and the steeping parameters such as steeping time and water temperature.

The robust and bold nature of Assam teas, particularly the black varieties, contributes to their higher caffeine levels compared to some other tea types.

Frequently Purchased

Good but not malty

This is a good, basic Assam. Be careful not to over steep less it becomes bitter. This '23 batch isn't particularly malty.

Elegant Assam

The Doomi Gold Summer black is a an elegant smooth Assam, perfect for any time of day.

Gorgeous Assam

Gorgeous Assam!

Lovely dark leaves with plenty of golden tips. A beautiful deep copper liquor and an exceptionally smooth and malty tea with plenty of sweetness. Not "furry" in the mouthfeel like some Assams can be. No bitterness with a 5-minute steep at 90C. If Assam tea could be silk, it would be this summer's Doomni Gold.

This tea is deep...

This tea is deep copper red. It takes sugar and a small dollop of cream to drink English style. Reminds me of the tea I drank as a small child. I have yet to order a tea from Teabox that I haven't loved!

This is stupendous tea!

This is stupendous tea!!! I highly recommend it. This is my first time experiencing it. Love it! I think it is some of the best tea out there.

My favorite!

Doomni Gold Summer Black is my all time favorite tea. I like the summer Assams best, and with its raisiny notes this one is really exceptional

Teabox provides superior teas!

Teabox provides superior teas and outstanding customer service!

First class Assam

A rich warm, nourishing tea that quickly calls out for a second cup. I take no sugar in my tea but the natural sweetness was pleasing and smooth. this tea is perfect now but I am looking forward to having it on a cold winter's morning. Thanx Teabox for yet another fabulous treat! Five stars without a doubt.

A very high quality tea.

I considered this tea one of my favorite high quality black teas.
When you look at the loose leaf when it is not steeped then you will notice the gold tips a sure sign of high quality.
The flavor was also one of my favorites because it had a very smooth body.

Wonderful, strong, Assam morning tea.

Been a connoisseur of Indian tea for over 20 years. The freshness of this Assam is wonderfully evident as soon as the package is opened. The aroma immediately hits you, smells of honey and dates.
Tea is malty and tastes of honey. Beautiful red color. Like all Assams, be careful not to brew to long, or it will easily become bitter and astringent.
