Our Assam second flush loose leaf tea from Borengajuli Estate is a bold, full-bodied FBOP black tea with vivid coppery liquor, deep malty richness and a distinctive jammy finish. Vacuum-sealed at the estate to preserve its peak-season character, it delivers everything a great Assam should — strength, warmth and satisfying depth — making it outstanding with milk and impressive enough to enjoy black.
Assam Second Flush Loose Leaf Tea from Borengajuli Estate
Borengajuli Estate is one of Assam’s most respected tea gardens, and this single-estate FBOP second flush shows exactly why. Rich, pungent and beautifully structured, it is a black tea made for those who want their Assam with proper weight and character.
The tea is vacuum-sealed at the estate as soon as it leaves the sorter, helping preserve the vivid flavour and aroma of the leaf at its seasonal best.
Deep Malt, Jammy Richness and Bright Copper Colour
In the cup, this Assam second flush loose leaf tea pours a bright coppery amber with real depth and clarity. The flavour is unmistakably Assam: strongly malty, warm and full, with a distinctive jammy undertone that gives the cup extra richness.
The finish is bold and satisfying rather than sharp, leaving a sense of lingering depth that makes this a particularly memorable morning tea.
FBOP Grade for a Powerful, Full-Flavoured Brew
The FBOP grade, or Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe, uses finely broken leaf with good character and efficient flavour release. This gives Borengajuli its immediate strength, deep colour and satisfying body.
It is an especially good choice for tea drinkers who want a premium single-estate Assam that still has the vigour and generosity of a classic breakfast cup.

Exceptional with Milk, Rewarding Black
Borengajuli FBOP takes milk beautifully. A generous splash softens the pungency, rounds the malt and creates a rich, comforting cup with plenty of flavour still present.
Taken black, the tea reveals more of its jammy second flush depth and estate character, making it well worth trying plain at least once.
How to Brew Borengajuli FBOP Assam Tea
Use freshly boiled water at 100°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup, using around 200 to 250ml of water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
A 3-minute brew gives a brighter, brisker cup with plenty of malty lift. A 5-minute infusion creates a deeper, more full-bodied result, especially suitable for milk.
Because FBOP is a broken-leaf grade, it infuses quickly, so keep an eye on the timing to avoid unnecessary astringency.

Assam is my preferred tea and I have been drinking Belseri from another supplier but this is no longer available so I went looking for a malty alternative. In the week since it arrived I’ve tried different quantities of tea, different infusion times from 3 mins to 5 and different water temperatures from boiling to just off the boil but I have to say none of them has hit the mark for me. A smaller quantity of tea, water off the boil and brewed for 3 mins works best but it doesn’t make a strong malty cup, there's no brightness and I don’t find it refreshing. There is also another peculiar taste to the tea which I haven’t encountered in Assam before. So, in all, it’s back to the search for me.

A delightful cup of tea provided the brew temperature and time are right not to mention the correct amount of tea per cup
