Story

Chota Tingrai Tea Estate has been producing tea in Assam since 1943, with its home in the fertile tea-growing landscape of Tinsukia. Today, the estate remains part of a family-run tea enterprise and continues to combine generations of experience with a forward-looking approach to tea cultivation and production.

Its philosophy extends beyond the tea itself. Chota Tingrai places emphasis on its surrounding community and environment, with initiatives spanning worker welfare, social development, and biodiversity.

This balance between heritage and progress defines Chota Tingrai today - a tea estate shaped by decades of family stewardship, while continuing to evolve with greater attention to people, land, and responsible tea-making.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Sweet malt takes the lead, accompanied by a soft cocoa note and a delicate dried-fruit sweetness.

Appearance

Bright amber

Taste

The cup begins with a mellow sweetness before the characteristic Assam malt comes forward, giving the liquor a rich and satisfying depth. It is full-bodied without feeling heavy, with a brisk quality that keeps the cup energetic and fresh. Subtle cocoa notes add warmth, while hints of honeyed sweetness bring a gentle roundness to the profile.

As the cup develops, a touch of stone fruit adds a soft, juicy layer beneath the malt. The finish is clean and gently brisk, with lingering warmth, light sweetness, and a comforting cocoa character. Familiar yet nuanced, this is a well-rounded summer black that captures the generous character of Assam.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

Where is Assam located?

Assam lies in northeastern India, nestled in the fertile Brahmaputra River valley. Its tropical climate, rich alluvial soil, and protection from the Eastern Himalayas create ideal conditions for growing robust, full-bodied teas. The region is also part of a global biodiversity hotspot.

How would you describe the flavor profile of Assam teas?

Assam teas are known for their bold, malty character, full-bodied texture, and briskness. Grown under intense heat and humidity, these teas offer a rich, comforting depth—often likened to the maltiness of a fine beer.

What are Golden Tips in Assam teas?

Golden Tips are tender, unopened leaf buds with a golden hue, covered in soft down. These prized tips lend a creamy texture, delicate sweetness, and added depth to the cup—making such teas highly sought after.

Which are the key tea-growing regions in Assam?

Some of the finest teas come from regions like Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Jorhat, Golaghat, Sibsagar, and Cachar. Each area imparts subtle differences in flavor, shaped by local soil and climate.

What’s the caffeine level in Assam teas?

Assam black teas contain moderate to high caffeine—typically 40–70 mg per 6 oz cup.

The exact level depends on leaf grade, type (CTC vs. orthodox), and steeping method. These teas are ideal for a morning boost or a mid-day pick-me-up.

Is this tea suitable for multiple infusions?

Assam black teas are typically best enjoyed in a single infusion to capture their bold, full-bodied character.

What foods pair well with this tea?

Its malty richness pairs beautifully with buttered toast, dark chocolate, almond biscotti, or savory breakfast dishes. It’s also excellent with a splash of milk alongside tea cakes.

away in the fertile plains of Assam’s Tinsukia district, Chota Tingrai Tea Estate is more than just a tea garden—it’s a living legacy. \u003cstrong\u003eEstablished in 1943 by Murleidhor Jalan, one of the first Indian entrepreneurs to own a tea estate in Upper Assam\u003c\/strong\u003e, Chota Tingrai has remained proudly family-run across four generations. Its journey mirrors the evolution of India’s tea landscape—from colonial-era plantations to independent, purpose-driven estates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what sets Chota Tingrai apart is its deep-rooted philosophy of care—towards people, the land, and the craft. \u003cstrong\u003eThe estate isn’t just home to tea bushes; it’s home to communities\u003c\/strong\u003e. With its own villages, schools, and healthcare facilities, it embodies a rare blend of tradition and responsibility. Many of the women who pluck the leaves belong to tea-working tribes, their skilled hands bringing nuance and character to every harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Chota Tingrai stands at the intersection of heritage and innovation. While vintage rollers from the 1940s hum softly in the orthodox factory, \u003cstrong\u003ethe estate also embraces modern green tea machinery and sustainable farming practices\u003c\/strong\u003e. With an increasing share of its land organically cultivated and compost made on-site, the estate reflects a quiet, deliberate shift towards a more mindful future. In every cup, you’ll find not just flavor—but the soul of Assam. \u003c\/p\u003e"}
