Rich, Malty Depth with Every Sip. Premium Assam tea is a bold, full-bodied black tea grown in the lush valleys of India’s Assam region. Known for its deep amber liquor and signature malty richness, this tea delivers a smooth yet robust taste that awakens the senses. Perfect for mornings or mid-day pick-me-ups, it offers a satisfying strength that pairs beautifully with milk and sugar, yet remains equally delightful enjoyed black for a pure, unadulterated flavour experience.
Bukhial is a tea estate belonging to and managed by George Willamson Assam Ltd - the world's largest privately held tea plantation group. Bukhial is situated on the south side of the Brahmaputra River in the state of Assam near a remote region called Nagaland. Wild elephants still roam the estate, but it could be worse; a century ago headhunters also lurked in the forests! In this area rainfall is lower which makes the bushes grow more slowly, producing an outstanding tea. This well-made orthodox leaf tea produces a strong, colourful and flavourful cup. The manager Mr. Dhar is rightfully proud of the fantastic reputation of this estate. You might ask - What gives Assam tea its special characteristics? The Assam valley is dominated by the Brahmaputra River - a large slowly meandering river which over millennia of fall flooding has deposited a rich loam over the valley.
The soil is a deep and sandy and the region suffers a very hot and steamy monsoon season, but equally important a relatively dry and cool winter. Perfect conditions for the Assam tea bush. This area is also susceptible to earthquakes which can make the ground swallow up whole tea bushes but this does not affect the unmistakable rich taste of Bukhial TGFOP.
Premium Assam - Full of antioxidants and rich in flavour, goodness in every sip.
The best estate in Assam. The soil conditions and climate produce a mellow and malty TGFOP to be savored and contemplated.
