Mokalbari East Assam Tea is a premium black tea sourced from the lush, fertile lands of Assam, India, renowned for producing some of the world’s most full-bodied and robust teas. This second flush harvest offers a rich, complex cup, characterized by a bold and assertive flavor profile with a distinctly spicy aroma.

Upon infusion, this tea yields a dark, amber-colored liquor with a strong, malty taste that is both invigorating and satisfying. Its intensity makes it a favorite among those who enjoy a richer tea experience-especially when enhanced with a splash of milk, making it particularly appealing to those who prefer a smoother, creamier cup without compromising on flavor.

One of the hallmarks of Mokalbari East Assam Tea is the presence of golden tips-delicate, golden-hued leaf buds that signify high quality. These tips are rich in theaflavins, natural compounds that contribute not only to the tea’s vibrant color but also to its refined spicy aroma and layered taste.

Like all black teas, Assam Mokalbari East contains caffeine and offers mild diuretic properties, supporting natural detoxification.  However, due to the oxidation process that black teas undergo, some antioxidant properties are diminished when compared to green teas, particularly the freshly harvested, premium-grade varieties.

Black teas are typically chosen for their strong, intense flavor rather than their health benefits. For those seeking tea primarily for its antioxidant properties, a high-quality green tea from the most recent harvest-especially spring-picked teas-is recommended.

Mokalbari East Assam Tea stands as a fine example of craftsmanship and tradition, offering a sensory journey into the heart of Assam with every cup.
