Detailed Description
The Nahorhabi Tea Estate is situated in the Sivasagar District of Assam in northeastern India. This district is known for its rich biodiversity, forest reserves and the Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary. Pilgrims from all over India come here to the famous Shiva Temple. Nahorhabi got its name from "Nahor" trees, because this area once had beautiful forests of Nahor trees.

This is the first tea estate in North India to receive ISO 9002 certification for growing, processing and marketing of Orthodox and CTC tea. The estate employs 1514 permanent workers and provides free housing, fuel and water along with subsidized foods. Excellent educational facilities are provided for the children of the workers and there is a hospital on the grounds that provides free medical treatment for the workers and their families. For the spiritual upliftment of its employees, a temple has been built by the company.

This tea is graded FTGFOP (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) and brews to a rich amber cup with a medium body and a smooth malty, slightly creamy sweet taste. The Nahorhabi Estate is recognized for producing excellent teas and this self-drinking tea has all the attributes associated with a fine Assam.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Bold Assam 9/11/2019
A very nice tea that initially overwhelmed me with its strength till I learned to keep an eye on the amount I use and the steeping time. This is perhaps less of an issue if you add milk, but beware if you drink it straight. Once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed the classical Assam flavour. A beautiful tea!
