About Assam and Its Tea
Note: All information herein is current as of the publication of this guide to the best of our knowledge. Every effort has been made at assuring accuracy,
but the changing nature of the tea industry is sometimes very rapid.
Assam is a state in northeast India, lying on either side of the Brahmaputra River, and bordering Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma). It is the world's largest
tea-growing re-gion, featuring some of the finest tea gardens. This area of India has high precipitation, with 10-12 inches (250-300 mm) falling during the
monsoon season. The high heat during this time (about 96.8°F/36°C) creates a true greenhouse effect. The effect of this tropical climate on the tea plants
results in that characteristic malty taste.
They produce a large amount of the black teas on the market today. The tea plant fa-mily is Camellia sinensis var. assamica. Most of the
garden terrain is relatively flat and closer to sea level than the Darjeeling gardens in West Bengal, India. The tea plants grow most of
the year due to the hot and humid climate and lack of a period of cold long enough for dormancy. March through November are the
best times to visit. Avoid the monsoon season.
Many of the Assam tea gardens do not have their own tea factory. They grow the tea leaves and sell
them at auction or arrange with another tea garden with a factory to process the leaves there. Over
the years many gardens have been bought by companies like McLeod Russel and Goodricke, with the tea
leaves being consolidated and sold at auction or processed in their own factories, depending on economic conditions.
Some of the tea gardens have been producing unique green and white teas, also, seeking
to gain a share in the premium tea market that is increasing around the world.
Tea gardens in Assam do not follow the Indian Standard Time (IST), which is observed throughout India and Sri Lanka. They follow
“Tea Garden Time” (Bagantime), which is an hour ahead of IST. The system was introduced during British days keeping in mind the
early sunrise in this part of the country. The system increased productivity of tea garden workers and allows them to finish work
during daytime. Working time for tea labourers in the gardens is generally between 9 a.m. (IST 8 a.m.) to 5 p.m. (IST 4p.m.).
It may vary slightly from garden to garden.

Some Key Dates
1750–1850 The first industrial revolution – made a lot of tea processing cheaper, faster, and
more dependable with mechanized production methods coming into being.
1840 The Assam Tea Company, the first tea company in India, was formed; they acquired
large land blocks, planting tea gardens and building factories.
1853 George Williamson, the “Father of India’s Tea Industry,” began to propagate wild
tea plants and founded the firm George Williamson & Co. in London.
1858 Control of India transferred from the East India Company to the British Crown.
1859 The Jorehaut Tea Company was formed to continue the growth and development
and supplying tea to a thirsty world. By the end of that year, they had established
nearly 50 tea gardens in the Assam area.
1873 Training other to grow tea done through George Williamson School, opened in June.
1865 Richard Manuel Blamey Magor went to India from Cornwall, England.
1869 Richard Magor founded Williamson Magor (WM) with his partner, James Hay
Williamson in Calcutta on the northeast coast of India in West Bengal. (The city was
the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911.) Williamson had been a captain
on a river steamer on the Brahmaputra River in Assam. The George Williamson & Co.
became the London end of the Williamson Magor partnership.
1899 Due to cheaper production methods, Indian tea exports were 17 times higher than
those from China, causing the China trade to collapse.
Tea Production
Production involves several steps, depending on the type of tea desired. Climate-controlled facilities avoid spoilage from high moisture and varied
temperatures.

Orthodox Assam
Generally, Orthodox Assams are higher quality, less likely to be bitter, and contain more subtle and multi-
layered flavors than CTC Assams. But that’s not the whole story. For one thing, they are usually harvested by
hand to get intact, whole leaves — small, young tea leaves plucked from the tips of the tea bush. For another,
contrary to what many say, Orthodox Assams are not processed entirely by hand. Once harvested, they go
through several processes which may be done by hand or machine.
Processing of Orthodox Assams:
Withering Done on long metal troughs in a shaded area for about 14-20 hours. Tea leaves are spread out, and as
moisture evaporates from them, they become limp and pliable, allowing them to be rolled without
damage.
Rolling Done by hand for highest grades and machine for lower grades and large-scale production. Withered
leaves are pressed by rollers while being rotated around each other to release chemicals stored in the
leaf cells and beginning the oxidation process by exposing them to the air.
Oxidation Tea leaves laid out 2-4 hours in a humidity- and temperature-controlled room; air reacts with
chemicals released during rolling, turns leaves from green to reddish-brown and then black. If oxidized
too long, tea will be strong, no subtlety. If too short, complex flavors won’t fully develop.
Firing Halts oxidation and completes tea leaves drying. They move on a conveyor belt through a charcoal fire
heater at around 220-250˚ F for 20-40 minutes and then are sorted by leaf grade by a machine that
shakes them over varying gauges of mesh that sifts by size. The largest pieces may be hand-sorted to
assure consistent size and therefore steeping time. Young, whole leaf teas are generally higher priced
than the broken leaf grade.
Grading Assam Teas
“Pekoe” is a common grading of Indian and Ceylonian teas that has several finer gradings (each indicated by
an additional letter added to the left of the others). The grading system is generally called “Orange Pekoe,” a
term that is a mystery to many. Some say “orange” refers to the Dutch family that brought tea to Europe.
Whether that is true or not, understanding the term helps you understand Assam teas (and many others) that
use the pekoe grading system.
There are two main categories of grades: “GFOP” and “GBOP.” The second letter in each is the key – “F” is for
“full leaf” and “B” is for “broken leaf.” Full leaf versus broken leaf can make a difference,
with the latter releasing more tannin into the liquid and therefore more likely to be bitter. If you are sensitive
to tannin, spend a bit extra for the GFOP Orthodox Assam.
A description of the full leaf gradings:
Pekoe P Whole leaf tea mostly from India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
Orange Pekoe OP Slightly larger and thinner tea leaf.
Flowery Orange Pekoe FOP Minimum grade for hand-plucked tea (“flower” is unopened tea leaf bud).
Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe GFOP Means that some leaves in the mix have a golden tip, which indicates higher quality.
Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe TGFOP Fine quality Assams; most experts say should be used when all tips are golden.
Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe First Grade TGFOP1 A step up from TGFOP.
Fancy Tippy Golden Broken Orange Pekoe FTGBOP Highest grade comprised of mainly the best quality tips from stems of the tea bush
(Camellias sinensis). Also called “Golden Tip” and “Golden Tippy.”
Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe First Grade FTGFOP1 Finest top-grade production with an abundance of tips.
Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe SFTGFOP Another step up the grade scale.
You won’t always see the word “Orthodox” on the tea label. But if you see one of the above grade labels, it will most likely be an Orthodox Assam. You will
also see further grading terms (example: SFTGFOP-Extra Fancy or SFTGFOP-Extra Special). There broken leaf grades have a “B” where the rightmost “F” is in
the above grades (example: GFBOP for Golden Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe).
Another definition (paraphrased):
A 7-tier grading system for black tea that relates to the size and physical
condition of the leaf rather than a particular kind of tea, flavor, or quality.
Often, Orange Pekoe teas are blends, with “orange pekoe” indicating that the tea is
the second highest grade in the system. “Pekoe” is from the Chinese word meaning “white”
as in the 2-leaves-and-a-bud combo plucked from the branch tip. When applied to Indian and
Ceylonian teas, it indicates whole leaves that are uniform in size, even those from lower on the branch
of the tea bush (species: Camellia sinensis). “Orange” could either mean the Dutch House of Orange Nassau
or the Chinese practice from ages past of adding orange blossoms to the tea leaves for flavor.
There are other definitions being bandied back and forth, but the main thing is these grades are a general guide. The
more letters, the higher grade the tea is supposed to be. Of course, it’s not an exact system. While I have confidence in
the honesty of tea growers to take care to label their teas accurately, the process involves some subjectivity on their
part. In short, buyer beware. And have a bit of understanding. The people labeling these teas are working with large
batches of tea leaves. Your pouch or tin is a small part of that batch and is not necessarily representative of the overall
quality, so don’t downgrade the rest if you happen to get a bit that is “off.”

 Assam 1 is lighter and a bit earthy.

 Assam 2 is mushroomy, earthy, and richer smelling.
 Assam 3 is woodsy/fruity.

good in their own ways. Assam 1 and Assam 3 are great milk-and-sweetener
teas and, as such, are very fulfilling. However, for a lighter Assam that can
be drunk plain, Assam 2 is a fabulous choice. It seems that of these three,
there is no winner, just differences that makes each great in its own way.
Pick whichever satisfies your preferences and enjoy!

Tea Processing in Their Factory
Withering
Upon careful spreading of green tea leaves in the

withering troughs By using fans that blow hot and
cold air through the green leaf, their moisture is
reduced by between 28%-32% (chemical wither),
this process lasts for 14 to 16 hours. The green
leaf is now limp and flaccid (physical wither) and
can now proceed to the processing area.
Processing
The withered leaf when ready is rotorvaned prior

to CTC processing (i.e. preconditioning of the
withered leaf). A CTC (Crush, Tear and Curl)
rotorvane process lasts for about 5-7 minutes.
Fermenting
This is the oxidation process for the CTC teas and

lasts between 70 to 120 minutes, depending on
the color and the smell (nose) of the fermented
leaf and which process has been used. It is at
this point that the green color of tea leaves turns
a coppery red or rust color.
Drying
To halt the natural process of fermentation and

to displace moisture, the fermented leaf is fed
into dryers in a regular manner with controlled
temperature for 22 to 25 minutes.
Carefully plucked green tea leaves are carried by Sorting & Grading

Mr. Goenka’s seven tea estates, operated under the Warren Tea Ltd. com-

the trained nimble fingers of the Warren plantation workers, is grown under
the strict supervision of acknowledged specialists and is the product of very
advanced crop management practices. The clonal percentage of Warren’s

Final Thoughts
As you can see above, the Darjeeling gardens have a long history going back to about 1850. They end up today dealing with that past. Gardens are being
revived from when they were abandoned or mismanaged. But other forces are causing issues, too. How India will deal with all of these remains to be seen.
Some prominent tea experts are doing their best to bring reason to the process. But it is an uphill battle. Buyers in Europe, North America, and elsewhere
have been scared into thinking that adding any manufactured fertilizers to the soil will end up poisoning them (far from the truth!) and ditto for insecticides
and herbicides. Labor unions clamor and demand more than the garden owners can pay in terms of benefits and wages for those working in the gardens. Old
tea plants are wearing out and need to be replaced. On top of all that, tea gardens keep changing their names, so building up a loyal following is hampered,
to say the least (no brand recognition). And much more.
Other Tough Issues Facing These Gardens & Estates

forests and wildlife sanctuaries. Human needs being ignored for the sake of a
bunch of trees and animals. A sad situation that is leading to a slow decline
of the tea gardens and hardship for all who depend on them.
On the other hand, tea garden owners who are trying to take part in the
growing attraction of tea tourism have been limited by the Indian govern-
ment. Often, this tourism is far more lucrative than the tea gardens. Thus,
the government interfering in matters, since they fear that garden managers
will go all tourist, producing little tea in the process. Sorry, but that is not
their decision to make.
Wildlife Valued Over Humans
One thing that doesn’t come up a lot when discussing tea estates in China,
India, and elsewhere is the wildlife they have to deal with. In India, they
deal with elephants, tigers, pythons, and a lot more. If the species happens
