Heritage Smoky Green Tea
Heritage Smoky Green Tea
Our Heritage Smoky Green Tea is a rare, firewood-smoked green tea from a region known for its bold black teas. The sweet, mineral notes of the green tea are elevated through the traditional smoking process, creating a rich, savory-sweet tea with very little bitterness. Fans of smoked teas like Lapsang Souchong or green tea drinkers who enjoy the strong, umami flavors of sencha will find this tea irresistible.
Rajen Baruah, after a distinguished career working for large tea companies, came out of retirement to found Assam Heritage Tea with a mission to empower Assam’s tea farmers. His dedication to crafting specialty teas like this one is transforming Assam’s reputation as a mass-producer of low-quality tea. Grown using locally-sourced vermicompost and completely chemical-free, this tea is as sustainable as it is flavorful.
For those seeking a bold, smoky twist on traditional green tea, Heritage Smoky Green Tea offers an unforgettable experience—steeped in Assam’s heritage, and crafted with the planet in mind.
Explore the intersection of tradition and innovation with every sip—tea that’s as unique as it is sustainable.
