Hookhmol Estate Assam – Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP)

Bold, Brisk, and Unmistakably Assam.

Awaken your senses with the rich, invigorating character of our premium Hookhmol (Hookomol) BOP. Sourced directly from the esteemed Hookhmol Tea Estate in the heart of Upper Assam, this black tea represents the pinnacle of traditional Assam craftsmanship. Known for producing some of the most vibrant and flavorful teas in the region, Hookhmol delivers a cup that is beautifully balanced, deeply malty, and incredibly satisfying.

The Hookhmol Heritage

Located in the lush, fertile plains of Upper Assam, the Hookhmol Tea Estate benefits from the perfect combination of heavy rainfall, rich soil, and a greenhouse-like climate. This unique terroir allows the tea bushes to develop leaves packed with intense flavor and rich essential oils. Tea from this estate is prized by blenders and connoisseurs alike for its bright liquor and signature briskness—a lively, refreshing astringency that leaves the palate clean.

Why Choose the BOP Grade?

Our BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) grade offers the perfect sweet spot between flavor complexity and brewing strength:

• The Perfect Crush: The leaves are expertly rolled and broken into uniform, medium-sized pieces. This exposes more surface area to the water, allowing for a rapid, flawless extraction of flavor and color.

• Full-Bodied Strength: Unlike whole-leaf teas that take longer to steep, this BOP grade quickly yields a thick, robust, and punchy cup.

• Versatility: It is bold enough to hold up beautifully to milk and sugar, making it the ultimate morning tea, yet smooth enough to be enjoyed black by those who love a strong brew.
