9AM Tea is the retail brand of Guwahati's Vishnu Tea Company, Tea Board-licensed (KOL/B-2991) since 1984 in the Fancy Bazar district. It sells Assam CTC blends, orthodox and green teas, masala chai, and single-estate teas from Halmari and Deckiajuli.

9AM Tea is the retail brand of Vishnu Tea Company, a Guwahati firm operating from the Fancy Bazar tea district since 1984 and licensed by the Tea Board of India under registration KOL/B-2991, alongside FSSAI food-safety registration. Four decades in the trade have built a wide product spread rather than a single specialty: Assam CTC breakfast blends sold under names like Sudha Gold, Sudha Top and Premium CTC; orthodox long-leaf teas from both Assam and Darjeeling; organic and regular green teas; and masala chai and other flavored and herbal blends.
Beyond its own house blends, the company also sells single-estate selections, including teas from the Halmari and Deckiajuli gardens, letting buyers choose a named-estate Assam alongside the standard graded CTC and orthodox lines. Operating from Fancy Bazar puts 9AM Tea in the middle of Guwahati's historic tea-trading district, where wholesale and retail buyers have long converged to source Assam's output, and the company serves both ends of that market — bulk and gift packs for wholesale accounts, and retail-sized loose-leaf and flavored teas for individual buyers. The Tea Board licensing and FSSAI registration give the operation a documented regulatory footing uncommon among smaller Fancy Bazar tea traders.
Aasmah Tea, based in Ganeshguri on RG Baruah Road, Guwahati, trades the full spread of Assam grades — CTC, orthodox, green, white and dust tea — under director Manas Das, serving both retail and wholesale buyers.

Aasmah Tea Private Limited works out of Ganeshguri on RG Baruah Road in Guwahati, incorporated in 2018 (company registration CIN U74999AS2018PTC018546) under director Manas Das, and holds both GST registration and an Import Export Code for its trading business. Rather than specializing in one style, the company trades, manufactures and wholesales essentially the full Assam tea spectrum: CTC in Dust, BOP, BOPSM, BP and BPS grades; orthodox tea in FBOP, BPS, OP, GFOP and FOP grades; green tea across Fine, Mogra, Soumee, Superlacha and Superfine grades; plus white tea and dust tea in CD and PD grades.
That breadth points to a business built around grade-by-grade bulk and retail supply rather than a single signature blend — the kind of operation Guwahati's tea district exists to run, matching buyers to a specific grade at a specific price point, with entry-level products starting around ₹100 per kilogram. With 11 to 25 employees and an annual turnover in the ₹5-25 crore range, Aasmah sits as a mid-sized trading house within Assam's tea economy: small enough to deal directly with named grades and buyers, but large enough to carry CTC, orthodox, green, white and dust stock simultaneously.
