Explore the LogThe Form Factor
Not a bag. Not loose leaf.
A solid artifact of smoke and flavor.
Wild leaves rammed into green bamboo, fired for days, and aged into a dense log — sliced like a fine salami, one coin at a time.
The Flavor Profile
Three notes. One fire.
Earth
Deep, grounded notes of the Assam jungle — wet bark, forest floor, and wild honey.
Smoke
Rich campfire aromas drawn from days of roasting inside green bamboo over open flames.
Malt
The bold, natural sweetness of indigenous wild tea leaves — round, robust, never bitter.
The most complex, robust tea I’ve ever tasted. It makes a stunning smoked syrup for cocktails.— [Mixologist / Chef name], [Bar or Restaurant, City]
Two Centuries Before Your Teabag
Before the British, there were the Singpho.
In 1823, a Singpho chief handed the East India Company its first Assam tea leaves. The tribe had already been drinking phalap for centuries.
The fire is lit.
