Halmari Tea Estate – Assam Single Origin Black Tea

Halmari Tea Estate is a full-leaf, single-garden black tea sourced from the Halmari tea gardens in Assam, India. Because it embodies the unique characteristics of a single garden's cultivation and production, it presents the robust structure of classic Assam teas in a more pronounced and layered manner.

The first sip reveals intense malt and caramel-like sweetness. This is followed by warm nuances reminiscent of roasted grains, a full body, and balanced bitterness. It leaves a fragrant, potent, and long-lasting finish in the cup.

How to Drink It?

• Plain: Its malty body, caramel-like sweetness, and single-garden character are most clearly felt.

• With Milk or Sugar: The full-bodied Assam readily carries milk; the milk softens the bitterness while highlighting the caramel-like nuances.

• Re-brewing: Whole leaves can be re-brewed; in the subsequent brewing, the stem becomes lighter while the sweet and fragrant nuances become more pronounced.

• As a cold brew: It retains its malty character while softening its bitterness; the caramel and sweet nuances are felt more clearly.

• With food: It pairs well with buttered toast, egg breakfasts, croissants, aged cheeses, gingerbread, caramel desserts, and dark chocolate.
