The Garden

Located in Assam's Dibrugarh district, Dinjoye is widely recognized as the first tea estate founded by a native Indian, a defining moment in the country's tea history.

Enriched by the silt laden plains of the Brahmaputra, it produces teas of malty depth while championing education, healthcare and gender inclusion among its workforce.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Teabox chief tea taster
Aroma
Lifted malt with notes of date palm and a gentle, warming spice.
Appearance
Deep red
Taste
A medium-bodied cup that opens with a soft malty character and a warm, rounded profile.

As it develops, gentle honeyed sweetness and notes of date come through, adding depth without overwhelming the cup.

The finish is smooth and clean, with a mild vegetal hint and light structure that lingers pleasantly.

Dinjoye Spring Black surprised me

Dinjoye Spring Black surprised me — it's smooth and strong without bitterness. Ideal for my morning chai with milk. My order was slightly delayed due to courier issues, but the support team was super responsive and courteous. Got it with a discount too, so I'm happy overall.

The tea is excellent

The tea is excellent — rich and full-bodied, just what I expect from a quality Assam. However, the outer box arrived with a dent. Thankfully, the inner pouch was intact. Customer service was quick to respond and even offered a small future-use coupon. A class act.

Amazing tea! Robust, malty, and energizing

Amazing tea! Robust, malty, and energizing. It’s great both plain and with a splash of milk. I used a discount code which made it a steal. Packaging was simple but effective — arrived safe despite the long journey. I’ll definitely be ordering a larger pack next time.
