Assam Green – Smooth, Buttery Green Tea from Assam, IndiaGrown and crafted in the misty valleys of Assam — a region famous for its bold black teas — our Assam Green is a rare and refined green tea that surprises with its elegance. Grown in the region's fertile lowlands, it offers a smooth, buttery cup with natural sweetness and gentle depth. Unlike its traditional black counterparts, Assam Green is carefully pan-fired to preserve its delicate green character. The infusion yields a soft, lemony yellow-green liquor with a warm, fresh aroma — a gentle reminder of Assam's versatility: bold in heritage, yet soft and elegant in this unique green expression. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItAssam Green is perfect for those seeking a fresh, rare tea that's comforting and approachable, yet layered and nuanced. Its buttery mouthfeel and lack of bitterness make it an easy-drinking green tea for everyday enjoyment, and a fascinating discovery for tea lovers who know Assam only for its black teas.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain throughout the day, and try multiple infusions to explore its gentle depth. It pairs beautifully with Indian cuisine, light curries, salads and fruit, and makes a refreshing iced green tea. Soft, smooth and surprisingly elegant, Assam Green is a unique expression of a legendary tea region. |

Our tea bags are made from PLA (polylactic acid), a bioplastic made from plant starch — most often corn, sometimes cassava, beets or sugarcane. Because it’s made from starch, it’s considered much safer for use with food and drink.

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
