From two leaves and a bud to the tea in your cup.
Ever wondered what happens inside a working Assam tea estate?
At Shangrila Tea Estate, the journey starts with young tea shoots, carefully plucked by hand in Upper Assam.
From there, the fresh leaves make their way to the estate factory, where they are:
Withered
Processed
Oxidised
Dried
Sorted and prepared for your cup
Every stage matters. The season, the leaf, the processing method and even the way you brew it can influence the final character of the tea.
The result? The rich, full-bodied Assam tea many of us know and love.
We took a closer look at this journey in our latest blog:
