Bukhial Assam TGFOP
Single-origin Assam
The malty Assam that earns its place by the kettle
A proper morning tea with serious body and a gently peaty finish. Bukhial is the kind of Assam you reach for when you want a cup that actually tastes like something: malty, brisk and completely at home with milk.

The story
Second flush, south of the Brahmaputra
Bukhial sits on the southern banks of the Brahmaputra River in Assam's Golaghat district, not far from Nagaland. The estate covers over two thousand acres, with rich loamy soil left behind by annual floods and a climate that swings from hot monsoon summers to cool, dry winters. That combination produces a leaf with real character.
This is a TGFOP grade, meaning Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe: plenty of golden tips from the young buds alongside the top two leaves. The second flush harvest brings out that classic Assam maltiness, full-bodied and brisk, with a coppery-gold liquor that catches the light.
In the cup you get malt and a touch of something earthy, almost peaty, that lingers without turning smoky. Add a splash of milk and it becomes the kind of brew that makes ordinary breakfast tea feel a bit thin. Drink it black and you will taste what proper Assam is all about.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Does Bukhial Assam contain caffeine?
Yes. Like all black tea, it contains natural caffeine at roughly moderate levels, enough to get your morning going without overdoing it.
Can I add milk?
Absolutely. This tea takes milk brilliantly. A splash softens the briskness and brings out the malt.
How many cups will I get from 100g?
Using about 2.5g per cup, a 100g pouch gives you roughly 40 cups, a decent few weeks of morning brews.
What does TGFOP mean?
Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. It indicates a high-quality grade with plenty of golden tips from young buds and the top two leaves of each shoot.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed, somewhere cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and anything with a strong smell. Tea absorbs odours easily.
