What Is Assam Tea?
Learn about Rajhans Royal Assam's strong, malty character, its Upper Assam origin, how much tea to use per cup, and available pack sizes.
Rajhans Royal Assam is a strong, malty black tea grown in the Brahmaputra valley of Upper Assam. It brews a deep amber colour that turns rich golden when milk is added, making it well suited to a strong cup of kadak chai.
Where It Comes From
Rajhans Royal Assam comes from the Brahmaputra valley of Upper Assam. It is bought from gardens Rajhans has worked with for years and harvested at the peak May–June flush, then packed fresh after purchase rather than stored for months. For the full sourcing story — harvesting, CTC processing, and quality control — see our sourcing journey.
Flavour and Strength
Because of this strength, three-quarters of a spoon makes one full-strength cup, instead of using a whole spoon. A 1kg pack gives 540+ cups, while most chai gives 400.
How to Brew It
Use three-quarters of a spoon per cup rather than a full spoon — Rajhans Royal Assam is concentrated enough that the usual measure makes a stronger cup than intended. For guidance on water temperature, steeping time, and the other fundamentals of a good brew, see our complete brewing guide.
When to Enjoy It
Rajhans Royal Assam is best taken in the morning.
