The Nahorhabi Tea Estate is situated in the Sivasagar District of Assam in northeastern India. This district is known for its rich biodiversity, forest reserves and the Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary. Pilgrims from all over India come here to the famous Shiva Temple. Nahorhabi got its name from “Nahor” trees, because this area once had beautiful forests of Nahor trees.
This is the first tea estate in North India to receive ISO 9002 certification for growing, processing and marketing of Orthodox and CTC tea. The estate provides free housing, fuel and water along with subsidized foods for all its permanent workers. Excellent educational facilities are provided for the children of the workers and there is a hospital on the grounds that provides free medical treatment for the workers and their families. For the spiritual upliftment of its employees, a temple has been built by the company.
The Nahorhabi Estate is known as a producer of excellent teas, and this self-drinking tea has all the attributes associated with a fine Assam.
The twisted black leaves of this tea have an abundance of golden tips. This second flush tea produces a bold, full-bodied, smooth amber cup with a hint of sweetness and an oak-like finish.
Brew tea at 212º – steep for 3 minutes.

Zen TeaA sample from S&V — thanks very much! I know I have tried a Nahorhabi tea in the past. Looking at the leaves, I remembered it a bit. So much gold in them there leaves! But not fully gold. This is the look of leaf I find so promising and appealing before I steep them up! The leaf also has a look that I would describe as “choppy”… whatever that means. The flavor is just what I wanted today. It’s assam, but not a super strong type — it’s sweet, fruity, layered, actually a hint of gardenia. Maybe just a hint of tomato soup. It’s bright, refreshing, maybe a hint of citrus like a marmalade or maybe just the barest hint of some other flavored jam (strawberry or guava?) So maybe a mix of marmalade/strawberry/guava jam? Why isn’t that a thing? Then at times it most reminds me of Yunnan. Delicious. The second steep seemed much more like a traditional assam flavor, losing its uniqueness of the first steep for a bit of harshness. Either a 3 1/2 minute steep was too long, or this one is just fine with one teaspoon instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons. The high rating I’m giving it is much more for the first steep than the second.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 20 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 1/2 min steep
