Teabox Assam Namsang Summer Black

Description:

• Located deep within the Upper Assam Valley, Namsang tea estate is renowned for its lush natural surroundings and rich heritage.
• Established in 1837, Namsang is one of the oldest tea gardens in the region, painstakingly carved out of the dense tropical rainforest at the foothills of the eastern Himalayas.
  
• Situated between the Jaypore Protected Biosphere and the Burhi Dehing river, the estate enjoys a picturesque and pristine location that contributes to its high-grown Orthodox teas' distinctive flavor and aroma.
• The approach to Namsang is a journey through a vibrant ecosystem where orchids bloom high in the treetops, and over 277 bird species fill the air with their song.
• Below, leopards, Hollock Gibbons, and elephants move stealthily through the underbrush, making Namsang a unique intersection of tea cultivation and wildlife.
  
• Namsang’s slightly elevated location is ideal for producing top-quality teas, celebrated for their unique character.
• Acquired by Rossell Tea Company in 2012, the estate's rich history is marked by Section No. 1, where the first formal tea plantings in 1837 are still commemorated by a marble monument.
• This legacy, combined with the estate's breathtaking natural beauty and its thriving flora and fauna, makes Namsang tea estate a living testament to Assam's enduring tea culture.
