About our Assam Manjushree teabags

In our quest to source an exceptional breakfast tea, we've struck gold with the gorgeously strong orthodox loose-leaf that takes centre stage in our biodegradable teabags. Each Manjushree Triune™ teabag, crafted from sustainable cornstarch, is triangular and generous in size, and packed with an abundance of supple golden tips amongst smaller rolled black leaves that deliver a malty, powerful brew.

The infusion that is produced from steeping these special teabags is bright amber and has sweet caramel notes with a smooth, buttery mouthfeel.

Manjushree Tea Estate was founded in 1967 at an altitude of 600m – high compared with most Assam tea plantations, which sit at an average of around 50m. Occupying the lush green landscape of northeast India, the state of Assam is the largest tea-growing region in the world. This part of India experiences high precipitation during the monsoon period, with 250-300mm of rain per day.

The daytime temperature often rises to about 40C, creating greenhouse-like conditions of extreme humidity and heat – the tropical climate contributing to Assam's unique malty taste and making it one of the most popular breakfast brews in the world.

Among Assam's 800 tea estates, the 403-hectare Manjushree plantation stands out for its high-yields and excellent tippy teas, grown in an area of unspoilt natural beauty in the Sivasagar district. Bounded by the river Towkok on one side and a forest reserve on the other, Manjushree Tea Estate is also acclaimed for reintroducing orthodox tea production to Upper Assam.

Variations on this exceptional Indian black tea

Our Tea Shop offers plenty of examples of Assam's bold, malty style. If you're keen to try more exceptional Assam teas, we recommend a caddy of the Assam Mangalam, which has enticing caramel characters with a hint of spice or, if you're after a classic, you can't go wrong with either of our Assam Breakfast or Assam Thowra teas. For a spin on traditional Assam, try our Chocolate Spice Assam for a guilt-free indulgence.

Discover Assam's rich history, geography and more Tea Makers blends made with this characterful leaf in our Tea Journal. A bold breakfast tea deserves serving ware to match; brighten your morning with our range of cheerful striped Cornishware.

Region

Assam Region, India

Assam, located in northeastern India, shares its northern boundary with the Himalayas and Bhutan, and borders Bangladesh to the south. Connected to West Bengal through the narrow Siliguri Corridor, Assam is a region marked by rich geography and abundant natural resources. The Brahmaputra River, originating in Tibet, flows across northern Assam, bringing vital runoff from the high peaks and feeding the valleys. Assam's humid subtropical climate is split between wet and dry seasons, with the wet season extending from April to October, resulting in the highest rainfall in India and often causing severe flooding.

Temperatures range from 11°C to 31°C throughout the year, with little wind. This heavy rainfall creates lush, fertile wetlands, which support a diverse ecosystem. The hillier districts, with elevations up to 600m, experience a temperate climate, providing a distinct environment for tea cultivation. The region’s forests consist of tropical evergreens, deciduous trees, bamboo, and ferns, with many wildlife sanctuaries protecting species such as tigers, leopards, and rhinos. Assam’s teas are known for their rich, malty notes, distinct from Darjeeling’s muscatel flavours.
