Assam Banaspaty Summer Black

Nestled in the serene Karbi Anglong Hills of Upper Assam, Banaspaty Tea Estate spans 160 acres of pristine land dedicated to crafting exquisite black and specialty teas. With roots tracing back to the late 19th century during British colonial rule, Banaspaty's legacy is deeply entwined with Assam’s storied tea heritage. Its name—Banaspaty, meaning "flora and fauna"—pays homage to the lush forests that once blanketed the region. What truly sets Banaspaty apart is its Elephant Friendly™ certification. Here, wild elephants roam freely through their ancestral corridors, a testament to the estate’s sanctuary-like environment and commitment to coexistence. Situated near the Nagaland border, the garden thrives as a haven for rare and endangered wildlife. Now stewarded by the third generation of the Mohan family, Banaspaty champions sustainable tea cultivation—balancing ecological preservation with the pursuit of exceptional quality. With USDA Organic and Fair Trade certifications, and nourished by the fertile soils of the Brahmaputra basin, this remote, enchanting estate stands as a living embodiment of Assam’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
