SAAH
Frequently Asked Questions
Estate-direct means our tea comes directly from the estates behind EST8, rather than being aggregated from multiple farms or bought at auction. It keeps the journey from source to cup closer and more transparent.
Second flush is the harvest season in Assam, that follows the first rains. The combination of strong summer sun and monsoon rain gives the leaves their fuller body, deeper colour and a naturally malty character.
EST8 is our estate-direct tea collection, featuring Pure Assam Tea and Masala Chai. These are loose-leaf teas you can brew the classic Indian way; with milk or sweetened as you like.
Saah is our blend house, where Assam black tea is thoughtfully combined with botanicals, herbs and spices to create blends designed around different moments and rituals throughout the day.
Keep your tea sealed and stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, heat, direct sunlight and strong aromas.
Each tea has its own recommended brewing temperature and steeping time. Follow the brewing guide provided on the individual product for the intended cup.
EST8 keeps origin visible. Our teas are identified by their estate, harvest and leaf character, allowing you to trace the tea back to its source more than any other tea can offer you.
Many teas in the market are blended from leaves sourced across different estates, regions or harvests. This can create a consistent flavour, but it can also make the tea's exact origin harder to identify.
EST8 takes a different approach: our teas are estate-direct and single-origin, so you can know exactly where your tea comes from.
