The Story of Halmari Tea Estate

Story

Located in the lush Moran district of Dibrugarh, Assam, Halmari Tea Estate is one of India’s most prestigious tea gardens—renowned for its legacy, precision, and exceptional quality. Spanning 374 hectares of fertile Upper Assam plains, the estate consistently produces some of the finest teas in the country, marked by their signature golden tips and rich, malty character.

With a history that spans over a century, Halmari has evolved from a modest tea garden into a globally acclaimed name. The turning point came in the 1980s, when the Daga Family initiated a quality-first approach across both field and factory operations. Since then, the estate has earned numerous awards and accolades, with its Second Flush black teas standing out for their full-bodied, creamy texture and vibrant liquors.

Today, Halmari stands as a symbol of excellence in Assam tea. Located along the south bank of the Brahmaputra River, the estate continues to charm tea connoisseurs around the world—offering not just a cup of tea, but an experience steeped in history, craftsmanship, and timeless flavor.

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.

Never boring

This Halmari is my all-time favorite Assam - it's full-bodied, moderately strong, and malty but not overly sharp or citrus-y in the finish like many Assams. There is a complex, mouth-filling, subtle sweetness and vanilla/floral quality that lasts from beginning to end. I find many Assams to be just boring due to the high tannins/malt creating a rather monolithic experience. Not this one. I drink it every day and the experience is still fresh.

A superior Assam

This is the best tea EVER.

Strong but delicious

This is a very strong tea but a delicious tea. Because of high in caffeine, it gives me a buzz half way through my 500ml mug that I usually have this tea in. A delicious and well balanced tea. I highly recommended this tea.

wonderful assam

starting with a wonderful aroma from the cup, the flavor is outstanding !

Great Assam

One of the best Assams I’ve ever had - very smooth, no bitterness, well-balanced

Halmari Special Summer Black Tea

I don't drink Assam teas a lot, so my comments are not very authoritative, however, this is one of the best I have tried. A lot of the Assams seem one dimensional to me - malt is about it but in this one the dates and sweetness came through.

Halmari Special Summer Black Tea

This tea is great for any time of year. This flavour is light and great to drink any time of day.
