Halmari Second Flush Assam – Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP)

The Jewel of Upper Assam

Step into the world of legendary tea craftsmanship. Sourced directly from the world-renowned Halmari Tea Estate, located along the fertile banks of the Brahmaputra River in Dibrugarh, Assam. Established in 1913, Halmari spans over a century of heritage and is widely celebrated for producing some of the highest-rated Assam teas on the global market.

The secret to Halmari’s signature cup lies in its lush soil, meticulous field practices, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Every leaf tells the story of an estate where tradition meets perfection.

The Magic of the Second Flush

Harvested during the prized summer harvest window (May to June), the Second Flush is the most sought-after picking season in Assam.

Under the intense summer warmth, the tea bushes produce leaves packed with rich, concentrated essential oils. Unlike the lighter spring “First Flush,” Second Flush tea delivers the iconic, deep character that made Assam famous worldwide: a full-bodied cup with a striking coppery-amber color, undertones of rich malt, and a subtle naturally sweet warmth.

Grade: BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe)

Our BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) grade strikes the ideal balance between leaf complexity and strong extraction:

• Bold & Robust: The neatly broken leaf particles allow the water to extract flavor quickly, producing a strong, punchy brew with an exquisite aroma.

• Rich Maltiness: Expect a thick, smooth texture with deep notes of toast, caramel, and classic Assam maltiness.

• Versatile Brew: Strong enough to pair beautifully with milk and sugar for a traditional morning cup, yet smooth enough to enjoy black.
