A lush green plantation, this garden is home to rich thriving biodiversity. Famed for producing top-notch summer malts, this finest Indian single estate tea is exquisite.

A full-bodied, well-rounded, crisp cup which starts out with gentle sweetness of dates and gradually subside to reveal delectable notes of malt towards the middle. Muted tones of wet wood interlaced with mellow accents of maple syrup shore up around the edges and towards the back, rendering a layer of depth and vivacious intensity to the liquor. Subtle nutty flavors are discernible towards the finish, making for a memorable experience of Assam Summer teas this season.
