Story

Doomni Tea Estate, nestled in the lush landscapes of Assam’s Baksa district, is renowned for its exceptional black teas. Spanning 2,020 acres, the estate is set against the backdrop of rolling green hills and the majestic Brahmaputra River. At an elevation of 120 meters, Doomni enjoys an ideal climate for tea cultivation. Originally a sugar plantation, the estate has since evolved into a premier tea producer, known for its robust CTC teas and high-quality orthodox varieties.

With a meticulous focus on quality, Doomni is HACCP and ISO 9001 certified, adheres to strict EU standards, and holds Rainforest Alliance certification.

The teas from Doomni are celebrated for their rich flavor and attractive appearance. Approximately 88% of the estate’s output is CTC tea, while the remaining 12% consists of orthodox varieties that consistently command premium prices. This blend of tradition and innovation—backed by state-of-the-art facilities and a strong commitment to sustainability—makes Doomni a trusted source for blenders and retailers around the world.

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.

Frequently Purchased

Enjoy the fragrance and the color iof this tea. Like it with milk. Can’t start a day without the tea!

Good but not malty

This is a good, basic Assam. Be careful not to over steep less it becomes bitter. This '23 batch isn't particularly malty.

Elegant Assam

The Doomi Gold Summer black is a an elegant smooth Assam, perfect for any time of day.

Gorgeous Assam

Gorgeous Assam!

Lovely dark leaves with plenty of golden tips. A beautiful deep copper liquor and an exceptionally smooth and malty tea with plenty of sweetness. Not "furry" in the mouthfeel like some Assams can be. No bitterness with a 5-minute steep at 90C. If Assam tea could be silk, it would be this summer's Doomni Gold.

This tea is deep...

This tea is deep copper red. It takes sugar and a small dollop of cream to drink English style. Reminds me of the tea I drank as a small child. I have yet to order a tea from Teabox that I haven't loved!

This is stupendous tea!

This is stupendous tea!!! I highly recommend it. This is my first time experiencing it. Love it! I think it is some of the best tea out there.

My favorite!

Doomni Gold Summer Black is my all time favorite tea. I like the summer Assams best, and with its raisiny notes this one is really exceptional

Teabox provides superior teas!

First class Assam

A rich warm, nourishing tea that quickly calls out for a second cup. I take no sugar in my tea but the natural sweetness was pleasing and smooth. this tea is perfect now but I am looking forward to having it on a cold winter's morning. Thanx Teabox for yet another fabulous treat! Five stars without a doubt.

A very high quality tea.

I considered this tea one of my favorite high quality black teas.
When you look at the loose leaf when it is not steeped then you will notice the gold tips a sure sign of high quality.
The flavor was also one of my favorites because it had a very smooth body.
