Tasting Notes - Assam Black Tea

Aroma: Bold and inviting with malty sweetness, hints of molasses, and a subtle earthiness. When brewed, releases warm notes of toasted grain and honey.

Flavor Profile:

  • Primary: Rich, full-bodied maltiness with a natural sweetness

  • Secondary: Robust and brisk with notes of molasses, caramel, and dark chocolate

  • Finish: Smooth with a lingering warmth and slight astringency that cleanses the palate

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and robust with a velvety texture. Strong enough to stand up to milk and sugar (the traditional chai way) but complex enough to enjoy black.

Brew Color: Deep amber to reddish-brown—the color of dawn over the Brahmaputra.

Best For: Morning wake-up, traditional chai preparation, or anytime you need a tea with backbone. This isn't a delicate afternoon sipper—it's the bold, hearty brew that fuels a region.

Brewing Notes: The high tannin content means it can handle boiling water and longer steep times without becoming bitter—perfect for the traditional "boil it all together" chai method, or brew it strong and add milk the way Assamese families have for generations.

Laahé Chai Spice Blend
$15.99

Laahe Chai Spice Blend is a warming, aromatic blend of whole spices traditionally used in Indian masala chai. Made with cinnamon, black pepper, green cardamom, star anise, cloves, and Indian holy basil (tulsi), this blend delivers depth, balance, and rich aroma in every spoonful.

While perfect for brewing traditional chai, Laahe is designed to be versatile. Stir it into coffee or lattes, simmer it with milk, sprinkle it into oatmeal or baked goods, or add it to desserts, cocktails, and even savory dishes for a subtle, complex spice note.

Hand-blended in small batches, Laahe brings the comfort of Indian chai rituals into modern kitchens.

About

ABIR

Abir is an Assam-born, Buffalo-based entrepreneur. He grew up in Northeast India—home to the world’s second-highest biodiversity—where food, tea, and superfoods are part of everyday life, not trends.

From Assam’s bold black tea to the spices and dishes passed down through generations, flavor was always his connection to home. Moving to the U.S. only made that love stronger. He wanted people here to taste the chai he grew up with, the spices his family cooked with, and the ingredients that Indigenous communities have used for centuries.

As a marketer and founder, Abir has spent his career building brands and solving problems with equal parts creativity and strategy—but Laahé is different. It’s personal.
Laahé is his way of sharing Assam’s tea, food culture, and powerful Indigenous ingredients with the world—modern, intentional, and full of story.

A love letter to where he’s from.
And an open invitation for everyone to experience it, one cup and one dish at a time.
