Bukhial Estate Assam

A single-estate Assam from the south bank of the Brahmaputra River — one of the great tea rivers of the world, whose centuries of seasonal flooding have built up the deep, rich loam that gives Assam tea its character. Lower rainfall on this side of the valley slows the bushes down, concentrating flavor into a bright, golden-copper cup that's malty, full-bodied, and smooth.

Graded TGFOP — Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe — the highest orthodox grade, indicating a high proportion of golden tips in the leaf.
