The Garden

Planted in 1837 in Assam's Upper Valley, Namsang's Section No. 1 remains one of the earliest formal tea plantings in the region, honored by a marble monument raised for its 1937 centenary.

Set between the Jaypore Biosphere and the Burhi Dehing River, its rainforest shelters leopards, Hoolock gibbons, elephants and 277 bird species, a rare union of wild biodiversity and fine Orthodox tea.

Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster

Teabox chief tea taster

Aroma

Malt layered with notes of date-palm and light honeyed accents

Appearance

Amber

Taste

A vibrant, malty cup with robust texture and supple depth. Sweet date-palm notes weave through the liquor, accented by gentle cocoa warmth. Fleeting stone-fruit hints emerge mid-sip before fading into a smooth, lingering sweetness - a classic expression of Assam orthodox from this vintage plantation.

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.

The best brew

I absolutely love tea box tea! From the moment the hot water is poured on the leaves and you can smell the tea brewing is wonderful! The deep caramel colouring and the taste is amazing! I won’t swap to any other tea or tea company! Thank you Teabox!

Very good tea'

It is not as strong as I expected, but very pleasant and palatable. I shall try some other Teabox brew.

Perfect tea

I didn’t taste all the teas I got myself - and being a tea-enthusiast, drinking lose leaf teas forever I can say, this is one of the best I brewed. Yet. I’ll definitely come back for more. I just hope the fair producing story is true and not just a marketing gag.

Good

The flavour and taste is good.

Good, plenty of taste...

Good, plenty of taste and body.

A twice a day tea

Well, I am very sensitive to foods and this tea does not give me headaches or problems so I order it repeatedly and never tire of the taste or consistency.

Wonderful morning tea

Wonderful Assam tea. We use it straight and also mix it as a base for other lighter teas.

Always assam

I like to add milk so want a substantial leaf, large too. This was a good base tea and agreeable with others for a different taste as well as on its own.

Another special brick on the wall

Halmari hits you immediately as a great tea but it took some time to appreciate our second order, Namsang Summer black. Learning to improve preparation process to get the best of the flavour. This is also very good Assam tea. I really like the mentioning of Year to help us learn the importance of freshness. Great vacuum sealing. Teabox is a great help in my experiments...with Tea, ofcourse

Loved the tea

Very good packing keep the tea fresh and can keep it for longer duration. The quality of the tea is excellent.
Loved the tea.

A perfect tea to start the day

The flavor of the tea is just majestic and it gives the right start for the day. The aroma, the flavor, the color is all too perfect and good. I love to try out various varieties of tea and this one as of now is the best. Also from teabox the packaging was vacuum packed thereby keeping all the quality in place.
