Nestled in the northeastern part of India, the state of Assam is renowned for its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and, most notably, its exceptional tea. Assam tea, known for its bold flavors and strong, malty characteristics, has gained international acclaim. Among the various types produced in this region, classic orthodox tea stands out as a timeless embodiment of Assam's tea heritage.

Assam has been a prominent player in the global tea industry since the mid-19th century. The discovery of indigenous tea plants, Camellia sinensis var. assamica, in the wild jungles of Assam by British explorer Robert Bruce marked the beginning of the region's tea cultivation. The robust and hardy nature of the Assamica variety made it an ideal candidate for large-scale tea production. Orthodox tea production follows traditional and meticulous methods that highlight the unique characteristics of the tea leaves. The process involves plucking, withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. In Assam, the large leaf size of the native Assamica tea plants contributes to the distinctiveness of orthodox teas. The classic orthodox tea from Assam tantalizes the taste buds with its distinctive flavor profile, creating a sensory symphony that echoes the region's rich tea heritage. As the robust leaves undergo the meticulous process of plucking, withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying, they transform into a beverage that embodies the very essence of Assam. The bold flavor of this tea is a harmonious blend of strength and depth, striking a perfect balance that leaves a lasting impression on the palate. A sip reveals the full-bodied nature of the infusion, accompanied by a malty undertone that adds a layer of complexity to the experience. The briskness of Assam orthodox tea imparts a refreshing quality, making each sip invigorating and satisfying.
