The Singphos are divided into clans, each with a chief known as a "Gaum". The main clans include Bessa, Duffa, Luttao, Luttora, Tesari, Mirip, Lophae, Lutong, and Magrong.
In 1823, Bessa Gaum was the Singpho chief who allowed Robert Bruce to take some tea plants and seeds. Some tea leaves were sent to the Botanical Gardens in Calcutta, where the plant was identified as a variety of tea. Tea experts credit Bisa Gam with the discovery of tea in Assam in 1823.
