THE GTAC TEA LOUNGE

THE GTAC TEA LOUNGE sits quietly on GM Road near Hanuman Mandir, offering a calm retreat for anyone who appreciates Assam’s famed tea culture. More than just a café, it functions as a comfortable spot to sample a wide range of authentic Assam teas—from brisk black teas and aromatic green teas to traditional kulhar chai served in clay cups.

The ambience leans toward peaceful and understated elegance, with clean, well-maintained interiors that invite visitors to slow down and savor their cup. The lounge attracts tea aficionados and locals looking to catch up with friends or find a moment of quiet amid the city buzz. It’s particularly pleasant during quieter weekday afternoons or just after work, when the relaxed vibe complements the soothing warmth of their tea offerings.

THE GTAC TEA LOUNGE’s menu includes a thoughtful selection of teas—lemon, masala, cinnamon, blueberry-infused options, and the ever-popular Assam black teas—alongside light snacks like veg and chicken momos, cutlets, and a tea platter for those who prefer some savory alongside their brew. The non-vegetarian choices, especially the chicken chop and cutlets, are favored by visitors seeking a more filling tea-time bite.

The service here leans knowledgeable and polite, with staff able to guide newcomers through an often overwhelming variety of teas, though some visitors have noted the lack of tasting samples when buying tea packs. For locals and travelers who appreciate genuine Assam tea served with care, this is a place to linger with a book or have quiet conversations without the rush.

Located close to Assam Secretariat, it can also serve as a convenient stop for professionals needing a break between meetings. The menu’s cool tea options like peach and lemon tea provide a refreshing alternative suited to Guwahati’s humid climate, offering something lighter than usual hot beverages.

In essence, THE GTAC TEA LOUNGE works best as a calm tea haven—a place where the focus is the tea and its authentic flavors, complemented by simple, well-prepared snacks. It's less about bustling crowds or quick grabs and more for those who want to explore Assam’s tea variety at a measured, relaxed pace.
