Origin
Origin
Assam Dejoo is grown in the heart of Assam, India’s premier tea region, known for bold, full-bodied black teas. Sourced from the Dejoo estate, this tea showcases the local terroir — warm days, rich alluvial soils, and consistent rainfall — which contribute to deeply developed flavour and complexity in the leaf. Carefully withered and fully oxidised, this tea reflects both regional character and traditional orthodox processing.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
This Assam brews to a rich, deep amber liquor with inviting aromas of toasted malt, warm spices, and a hint of woodiness. On the palate, the tea feels smooth and rounded, with underlying sweetness and an approachable brightness that lifts the cup. Its structure and clarity make it versatile — equally compelling with or without milk and sugar, and well suited to both morning energy and afternoon comfort.
Pairs beautifully with heartier breakfasts, milk-inclusive brews, and rusks or toast. Its bright finish makes it a satisfying choice with or without accompaniments.
