The Story

The estate sits in Upper Assam's Dibrugarh district, where the Brahmaputra River's ancient floods created uniquely fertile alluvial soil. Halmari's 'orthodox' production (hand-rolled, not CTC) creates teas with complexity rare in Assam.

Brewing Tips
Assam can handle near-boiling water and longer steeps. This tea works beautifully with milk if desired, but try it black first to appreciate the malty sweetness. The golden tips contribute honey notes; let them fully unfurl.
