If you like a hearty cup of black tea, our Manohari Estate Assam is perfect for you. It is brisk, malty and full-bodied, with a light citrus note. This tea is sure to wake you up in the morning and is great with sugar and a splash of milk. The renowned Manohari Tea Estate is situated in the upper region of Assam in northeastern India on the Indian-Burmese border, at an elevation of 390 feet above sea level. The estate covers some 1800 acres, with over 1000 acres planted with tea bushes. Almost three million pounds of black and green tea are produced annually. The climate, soil, and genetic make-up of this native variety of tea plants give Assam teas their characteristic full-bodied liquor and hearty flavor. All of the gardens in the Assam region are virtually on the same plain with an altitude of approximately 500 feet. This is proof that not all fine quality tea has to be grown in high elevations.
