Description

Assam Dikom TGFOP: a tippy, well-made Assam

Having a wiry leaf with golden flowery tips and traditional malty, yet light flavour, Assam Dikom produces a richly coloured and malty infusion. The flavour is brisk and bright and lightly sweet. Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for five minutes.

Assam is one of the most important tea producing regions of the world. Here Camelia assamica is indigenous to the area. The Dikom tea garden is based in the south-east of the Assam region in India's north east. The Sessa river flows 1,800 miles from the Himalayas to the Ganges and goes through the Dikom tea estate. Leopard are found here and to date thirty-seven have been relocated to a local wildlife reserve. The Bodo-Kacharies tribe named the garden Dikom because they found the water uniquely sweet. In the Bodo language "Di" means water and "Kom" means sweet. It is planted with 73% clones which contributes to the complexity of the tea. Dikom is considered one of Assam's best tea estates.

Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

Assam Dikom tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

Packing options

There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our silver-coloured packets are a triple laminate of paper, foil and cellophane, specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.

  8. Sarah Pitt (verified owner) –

    This tea tastes sublime. It is quite a light Assam so because I like a stronger brew generally, I leave it to steep for a bit longer. Then it’s just right.

  15. Rupert Knowles (verified owner) –

    Product:
    Service: The company provides a very efficient service and fills a gap in the market: it is very difficult to buy interesting loose-leaf teas in supermarkets.
    Also the company has not been tempted to follow the current fad for flavoured teas, apart from traditional jasmine and bergamot.
