Grown on the south bank of the Brahmaputra and harvested during the prized second flush season, it offers classic Assam richness in a more rounded, refined style — excellent with milk, yet smooth enough to enjoy black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"u7zecf\" data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"937\"\u003eAssam Loose Leaf Black Tea from Bukhial Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"939\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003eBukhial Estate is one of Assam’s most respected tea gardens, producing orthodox black teas with genuine depth and a notably smooth character. This single-estate \u003cstrong data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003eTGFOP\u003c\/strong\u003e selection shows the garden at its best: carefully made, golden-flecked and richly satisfying in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003eThe estate sits in the Golaghat district, near Nagaland, where comparatively lower rainfall slows leaf growth and helps concentrate flavour. The result is an Assam with richness and body, but also a pleasing mellowness that sets it apart from more forceful styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"l3mcls\" data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003eMellow Malt with a Distinctive Plum-Like Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1720\"\u003eIn the cup, this Assam loose leaf black tea pours a vivid coppery-gold liquor with excellent clarity. The flavour is warm and malty, but softer and more rounded than many robust Assams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eA smooth, plum-like sweetness develops through the finish, giving the tea an inviting depth and a slightly fruitier personality.
