Owing to its history and contribution to Indian Tea, Assam is called ‘tea country’ much like Himachal Pradesh is called ‘apple country’.

Primarily, Orthodox and CTC teas are made in Assam. Orthodox may be variably oxidised as Assam Green Tea or Assam Black Tea. Eventhough rare, White Tea and Oolong Teas are also made. CTC brews the famed Assam Chai. CTC and Orthodox teas come in a whole array of grades from whole leaf, BP to various dust grades. Amongst flushes or seasons, the 8th month harvest or ,Second Flush Assam Tea is considered the finest.

Assam Tea has found a place of importance in Indian Ayurveda, Perso-Arabic Unani and in Traditional Chinese wellness systems.

When you buy Assam Tea online, look to buy from the source and from a brand that has experience in blends when it comes to variants.

By Assam Leaf Tea or Assam Whole Leaf Tea, one usually refers to Assam Orthodox. In leaf grades and especially in the black tea category, Assam Second Flush Orthodox Tea is considered one of the finest globally owing to its rich colour and deep flavours of malty fuity caramel notes. Certain Assam clonal teas produce bright golden velvety tips and these are only present in the finest Assam orthodox teas. Pro Tip: If one is looking for whole leaf tea bags, one should opt for enveloped pyramid tea bags.
