Story

Nestled in Assam’s lush Barak Valley, Coombergram Tea Estate remains a verdant oasis, with gardens that stretch endlessly in a tapestry of greenery. This season, its serene landscapes once again invite tea lovers to immerse themselves in the tranquility and timeless charm of one of Assam’s most captivating tea regions.

With roots reaching back to before the 1880s, Coombergram carries a legacy as intriguing as it is rich. The estate still preserves the memory of Miss Amy Caroline Bell and an unidentified gentleman, marked by a small graveyard near the manager’s bungalow. Though official records date to 1913, the garden’s heritage and dedication to crafting fine teas continue to inspire admiration among visitors and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Aroma

Malt with notes of maple syrup and light earthy accents

Appearance

Amber

Taste

The first sip opens with deep malty richness — the signature of fine Assam teas — seamlessly balanced by notes of maple syrup. Layers of wet wood and hints of dried apricot add complexity, while a whisper of spice lingers in the background.

Full-bodied and brisk, it offers a pleasant astringency that refreshes the palate and leaves a satisfying, rounded finish.

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.

Love this Assam Tea

I have now purchased the 2023 second flush Coombergram Summer Black twice because I really love it. Nice malty strong Assam, but less astringent compared to many others I have tried.

Deliciously not what I was expecting

I don't know tea words, and don't know quite how to describe this tea. I tend to drink VERY malty Assams - the kind you could float a horseshoe on. This one is /different/. Not especially astringent, DEFINITELY not what I'd call malty; but it is compelling and delicious and I'll probably end up buying another bag in the VERY near future.
