Finest Assam
Tea
From the finest gardens of Assam to your cup
We buy at the garden, not the auction — every grade of CTC and Orthodox, and a single-estate green tea picked and made by hand. Bulk export for importers; honest retail packs for everyone else.

Our story
Sourced at the garden, not the auction.
TeaNook works directly with estates across Upper Assam — tasting at the garden, grading to Tea Board nomenclature, and packing to order. The middlemen drop out; the freshness stays in.
One supplier, every grade: from whole-leaf Orthodox down to Churamani Dust. And soon, more of Assam than tea.
Every lot is cupped before it moves — first flush through autumnal — and ships straight from the garden, so your tea travels once, not three times.
- Direct
- Garden-direct buying from estates we visit and taste at.
- All grades
- CTC, Orthodox and green — you name it, we have it.
- Two channels

Every grade, decoded.
