This artisanal, robust tea is delightfully smoky and unique as it also has sweet honey, malt and dried mango undertones. It has a rich mouthfeel and a lovely mineral texture. It is handcrafted in small batches in order to control quality and ensure uniformity. If you like Lapsang Souchong or a Russian Caravan, this is the tea for you. This rejuvenating, energizing, and earthy tea will remind you of happy childhood moments by a campfire roasting smores.

Origin
Golden-green rice fields, thick forests, manicured tea estates surrounded by blue hills, green valleys, and a red river, Assam is the largest Northeastern state in India. Situated just below the eastern Himalayan foothills, it stretches along the Brahmaputra River. This tea comes from the Sivasagar district from a tea garden by the banks of the river Teok. The name 'Teok' means – 'The place of milk and ghee' in Tai.
Meet
Hunted for its horn, the one horned rhinos were almost extinct, with less than 200 left by the end of the 19th century. Conservation efforts have revived their population and brought their worldwide numbers to around 3,000 now — the bulk of them in Kaziranga, Assam.
Smokey Assam Black Tea is now one of my morning teas. I love it! It is very emotionally comforting for me, besides having a great taste!
I've never had anything quite like this. It's a revelation.
This tea is VERY smoky. I've never had a tea quite like it! The aroma and flavor is like being hugged by an autumn campfire. So cozy.
I’ve been purchasing from this company for such a long time. I have always been delighted with the quality of the teas. This one is no exception. I love a good Assam tea and I was so pleased to find one with a nice smoky flavor. Think along the lines of Russian caravan. This is one I’ll be reordering, it’s a keeper for me.
This was an excellent tea. I really loved it. If you love smoky teas like Lapsang Souchong or Russian Caravan this is a must try.
I sang its praises to my tea club.
