Assam Black Gold

This Assam Black Gold tea is a treasure and made by our dear friend and tea master Maddhurjya Gogoi. It is a visual delight with abundant golden buds with a fuzz of downy trichomes. The tea is exquisite with a full body, rich mouthfeel, like a fine brandy with notes of honey, malt, cacao, chocolate chip, oak bark and stone fruit like apricot and peach. Assam Black Gold was made in the month of July 2023, and is composed of two leaves and a bud from p-126 cultivar. This artisanal tea is handpicked and then undergoes indoor withering, gentle machine rolling, oxidation at 98% humidity, followed by preheating and drying. Definitely a lot of precision is used to make such a marvelous tea! March 2022, was the first time we met Maddhurjyya and became friends immediately. He had a 2 acre tea farm in the Sivasagar district in Assam where he lived with his children and mother. He also had fish, cows and chickens on the farm. Maddhurjyya used tea-permaculture and organic practices on his land. He
