Lakhi's Green Tea — Pure Super Fine Grade Green Tea from Assam

What Makes a Great Green Tea?

Green tea is the most delicate category in the tea world. The same leaf that makes black tea — if handled differently, steamed or pan-fired instead of oxidised — becomes green tea: lighter in colour, gentler in flavour, and packed with the natural compounds that make it one of the most studied wellness beverages in the world.

The quality of the leaf matters enormously. Lower grade green teas taste flat, grassy, or bitter. Super fine grade green tea — the grade Lakhi's uses — is made from young, tender leaves picked at the right moment. The result is a cup that is clean and fresh with a natural sweetness and no bitterness when brewed correctly.

Where Does Our Green Tea Come From?

Lakhi's Green Tea is grown in Assam — the largest tea-growing region on earth, and still one of its least known for green tea.

Assam is famous for bold black tea. Green tea from the same gardens is rare, because it demands a younger, finer pluck and far more careful handling. Very few Assam estates produce it at super fine grade, and we buy from the ones that do.

What Assam gives that no other region can is its soil. The Brahmaputra floods each monsoon and lays down fresh alluvial silt, season after season. That mineral-dense earth, combined with the valley's heat and humidity, feeds the assamica tea plant — India's own indigenous variety, and a broader, hardier leaf than the one grown in China or Japan. The result is an Assam green tea with unusual body: it drinks fuller and rounder than most, without the grassiness that puts people off.

We have sourced from premium Assam estates since 1975. Same region, same grade, same standard. No blending in of cheaper leaf, no additives.

Is green tea good for weight loss?

Green tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in weight-management routines worldwide, and it is naturally calorie-free when brewed without sugar or milk. Lakhi's pure green tea has no additives — a clean, natural cup to include in a daily routine.

Assam green tea vs Chinese vs Japanese green tea

The difference starts with the plant. Chinese and Japanese green teas are made from Camellia sinensis var. sinensis — a small-leaf plant suited to cool, high-altitude gardens. Lakhi's Green Tea is made from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, the broad-leaf plant indigenous to Assam, grown on the alluvial soil of the Brahmaputra valley.

That single difference shapes the cup. Chinese green teas tend toward a light, nutty character. Japanese green teas lean grassy and vegetal. Assam green tea sits between them: fuller in body, naturally smooth, with low bitterness when brewed at the right temperature.

It is also the green tea best suited to the Indian palate — which is exactly why we make it this way.

When to drink green tea

Many people drink green tea mid-morning, between meals, or after food rather than on a completely empty stomach. Brew at 80°C for 2–3 minutes for a smooth, non-bitter cup.
