Experience the Unique Flavor of Tenzing Bodosa Assam Green Tea

Discover the world's first Elephant Friendly Tea, "Tenzing Bodosa Assam Green Tea," now available in the UK. Grown from 100% natural sources, this premium loose-leaf tea offers a refreshing and vibrant experience for tea lovers.

Unlike its more well-known counterpart, Assam dark tea, this green tea is processed differently to preserve its natural green color and delicate flavor profile. The leaves undergo minimal oxidation and are quickly steamed or pan-fired, resulting in a tea that retains its fresh taste.

Assam Green Tea is characterized by its light, grassy aroma and subtly sweet flavor with hints of vegetal notes. The liquor tends to have a pale green or yellowish hue, making it a delightful choice for both hot and cold brewing. Enjoy it brewed with lower water temperatures to enhance its unique flavor without bitterness.

Why Chelsea Tea?

Our ultra-premium tea is handpicked by renowned Tenzing Bodosa and his local farmers, sourced directly from the prestigious Fully Natural Elephant Friendly Tenzing Bodosa Estate. This single estate, established in 2007, is dedicated to growing only natural and pure teas through bio-culture, without harmful pesticides or chemicals.

Tenzing’s single estate origin farm in Assam, India, has been certified as the world’s first elephant-friendly farm by the Wildlife Friendly Organization. The estate features a buffer zone at the edge of the farm, where the jungle begins at the Bhutan border. This area is preserved to allow wild elephants and other wildlife to thrive, creating a harmonious environment.

Currently, Tenzing’s tea is grown on sprawling 7.5 acres of plantation and is enjoyed in Canada, Germany, and the US. Tenzing has recently partnered with Chelsea Tea Company in London, allowing customers in the UK to experience this exceptional tea for the first time. Tenzing personally ensures the quality of tea for Chelsea Tea, guaranteeing that you receive the best quality from farm to cup.

Sustainable and Social Responsibility

Located near the Bhutan border, this estate provides employment to many local tea workers from the Bodo Tribe and nearby Assam villages, offering them fair wages. Tenzing is committed to various welfare initiatives in his village, including building a primary school and library for tea workers and their families. By choosing our tea, you can be confident that you are supporting ethical sourcing and community welfare.

We are also partnered with Switch Zero, ensuring we do our part for the environment. We handle all the hard work, so you can enjoy a premium tea experience without worry.
