A Tasteful Dip into the Heritage of Assam Tea
Ever wondered why Assam is synonymous with world-class tea? Picture this: endless stretches of lush green tea gardens, enriched by alluvial soil, plenty of rain, and warm sunshine. Since the 19th century, Assam has been brewing perfection, thanks to the British discovering its tea-growing potential. Fast forward to today, and Assam tea has become an essential part of India’s tea culture, contributing massively to the country’s tea production.
But what makes Assam tea truly unique? It’s all in the blend! Each region, from Upper Assam’s malty, biscuit-like tones to Lower Assam’s bold, robust flavours, brings something special. Blending these leaves isn’t just a process, it’s an art. It takes skill to harmonize the strengths of each tea garden and create the perfect balance of taste, aroma, and texture.
Why is Upper Assam Tea Special?
Upper Assam is the crown jewel of tea-growing regions. Thanks to its loamy, alluvial soil and ample rainfall, this area produces some of the finest tea leaves in the world. You could say the tea from this region is the VIP of teas!
