Assam CTC Reserve

Assam Hojicha Reserve Japanese-inspired craft. Assam-grown tea. A distinctive expression. Assam Hojicha Reserve brings together the character of Assam-grown tea and the craft of Japanese roasting technology to create something distinctively its own. Made from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, this green tea undergoes roasting that transforms its character, revealing warm, toasted notes and a mellow depth quite different from the fresh, vegetal qualities commonly associated with green tea. The result is a distinctive expression of the leaf, where the character of Assam tea meets a different approach to its making. At CHARAIDEO RESERVES, we celebrate the many possibilities of tea through thoughtful curation and an appreciation for the craft behind every leaf. Assam Hojicha Reserve reflects this spirit, offering a fresh perspective on what Assam tea can become. CHARAIDEO RESERVESA Reserve of Assam’s Distinctive Teas.

Assam Matcha Reserve Shade-grown in Assam. Crafted with Japanese technology. Distinctly Indian. Assam Matcha Reserve represents a new expression of Assam tea, bringing together the region’s native tea cultivar and the craft of Japanese matcha production. Made from shade-grown Camellia sinensis var. assamica, this finely stone-ground green tea reflects years of experimentation, practice and collaboration with Japanese tea experts at Chota Tingrai Tea Estate in Tinsukia, Assam. Plucked and masterfully stone-ground on September 15, 2026, this selection represents the peak of India’s late-summer third harvest. The journey combines careful cultivation with specialised Japanese technology and traditional stone grinding, transforming Assam-grown leaves into a fine, vivid green powder. The result is a distinctive matcha with a fresh, vegetal character, gentle sweetness and a smooth, lingering finish. As India’s first commercially produced matcha, Matcha Assamica marks an important milestone in the evolution of Assam’s tea heritage, demonstrating how a native cultivar can be explored through a different tea-making tradition. At CHARAIDEO RESERVES, we celebrate teas that carry a clear sense of origin while opening new possibilities for the leaf. Assam Matcha Reserve reflects this belief, bringing together the character of Assam, the precision of Japanese technology and a new chapter in Indian tea craftsmanship.
