Shaped by cool winters and monsoon rains, this strong black tea is rounded with subtle sweet hints and a smooth, lasting finish.

Tasting Notes
A brisk, bright amber cup, full-bodied and with a rich malty taste complemented by hints of sweet honey.

The Silken Pyramid
This precious whole leaf tea is cocooned in biodegradable silken pyramids, individually sealed for freshness.

The Story
In the remote region of northeast India's Assam, high average temperatures couple with monsoons to give Upper Assam tea its strong, malty character. This tea is created during the second flush, when the teas exhibit their most lively character.

Tea is Newby's passion. Our mission is to source, blend, preserve and serve the world's finest teas.
Selecting the best leaves from prime harvest seasons, we preserve the quality of Newby's blends at our state-of-the-facility in the heart of the world's finest tea-growing regions. We pack all our teas in alu-foil to preserve their freshness and unique character.
Newby's award-winning teas and tisanes are enjoyed in fine establishments around the world, a luxury you can now experience for yourself.

The Chitra Collection
For millennia, philosophers and sages developed the art of transforming fragile leaves into transcendent cups. Like alchemists, they understood the importance of water quality, temperature and brewing time - an art that is slowly fading.
It is this art that Newby seeks to revive, presenting the finest teas and honouring millennia of tradition with a one-of-a-kind museum collection.
Curated as carefully as our teas, Newby's Chitra Collection chronicles the very history of tea in priceless objects. We have chosen to feature one of these objects with each of our teas and tisanes.
