Well balanced, full flavoured Assam tea with a moderately spicy, malty character. Only produced in March and April when the mountain air is moist and cool. One of the oldest tea gardens in Assam was planted in 1870 by Major Gibb the garden's name was derived from Queen Hiramati wife of King Arimatta whose kingdom is thought to have been all of lower Assam. The remnants of the queen's burial ground are still present next to the Maj (middle) Bungalow.The picturesque location of this garden with the fast flowing Dikrong River alongside and the Northern boundaries extending into the thickly forested hills of Arunachal Pradesh give the visitor a breathtaking and an unforgettable view. With the abundance of untouched forests in and around the garden and the gentle wild animals paying a regular visit makes working in this garden a unique experience.The fertile soil is most conducive to the growing of tea and the handpicked bushes that have been planted over the years have thrived at Harmutty to offer the connoisseur a range of teas unmatched for both their flavour and freshness.

A tea full of flavour which is the perfect 'pick me up' cuppa in the morning. Thank you, High Teas.
Malty taste, pleasant aroma, copper coloured. Quite good. Probably try some more.
I ordered Harmutty because my usual Tonganagaon is out of stock, and find I like it just as much!
