The Garden

Nestled along the Brahmaputra and framed by the hills of Arunachal Pradesh, Dejoo thrives in a tropical climate ideal for premium clonal varietals like N436 and P126.

The estate actively preserves its surrounding forests and water bodies, sustaining wildlife habitats while crafting golden tippy orthodox teas of rich, malty character.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma
The aroma opens with comforting notes of malt and rich cocoa, gently lifted by delicate honeyed accents that lend warmth, sweetness, and an inviting depth to the cup.
Appearance
Dark amber
Taste
A quintessential Assam cup - bold, full-bodied, and richly malty. The liquor opens with sweet malt and notes of date palm, followed by gentle hints of dried apricot that add a delicate fruity lift. A touch of warm spice unfolds through the mid-palate, bringing depth and complexity to the brew. Creamy and velvety in texture, the cup is smooth and deeply satisfying. It finishes long and mellow, with lingering caramelized sweetness that leaves a warm, comforting impression.
