Assam Golden Tips Orthodox

Golden-tipped leaf | Malt-forward

Thick, malty and unapologetically strong, with a high proportion of golden tip. The tea that makes a genuinely good cup of chai.

Assam sits at near sea level on the Brahmaputra floodplain, and its heat and humidity produce a leaf with enormous body. The golden tips — the downy unopened buds that oxidise to amber rather than black — are what lift it from merely strong to actually complex.

We buy orthodox rather than CTC. It costs more and brews slower, and it is the difference between chai that tastes like tea and chai that tastes like colour.

100% Camellia sinensis var. assamica.

Third order and counting

What convinced me was the lab report. I looked up my batch number expecting a generic PDF and got an actual NABL report with my batch on it. That is the first time an Indian food brand has done that for me.

Chosen because they actually work alongside the assam golden tips orthodox — not because an algorithm said so.
