About

This bold Assamica tea makes for the perfect morning cup.

Sourced from the renowned Dejoo Estate in Assam, India, this full-bodied black tea delivers the region's signature malty sweetness with subtle notes of caramel and spice.

Dejoo itself sits on the north bank of the Brahmaputra, flanked by the Ranga River to the east and the Arunachal Pradesh hills to the north. The geography – tropical warmth, abundant rainfall, rich loamy soil – is exactly what makes Assam malt taste like Assam malt, bold and sweet.

Dejoo teas are prized for their robust character and smooth finish, making them ideal for those seeking a premium morning brew or afternoon pick-me-up. Each cup captures the essence of Assam's fertile terroir, offering depth and complexity that improves with proper steeping. A distinguished choice for discerning tea enthusiasts.

Country India

Assam sits on the floodplain of the Brahmaputra River in north-eastern India, low and hot, where heavy monsoon rain and tropical humidity drive vigorous growth. It is the largest tea-growing region in the world by output, and produces the bold, malty black tea that forms the backbone of most breakfast blends.

Assam is also one of the few places where tea is native – the local Camellia sinensis var. assamica was found growing wild here in the 1820s, and its discovery let the British break China's monopoly and build an industry of their own. Almost all of what is grown in Assam is black tea, known for its strength and depth rather than subtlety.
