Assam – Nahorhabi Estate, Second Flush, Black Tea, FTGFOP1

The Nahorhabi Tea Estate is situated in the Sivasagar District of Assam in northeastern India.  This district is known for its rich biodiversity, forest reserves and the Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary.  Pilgrims from all over India come here to the famous Shiva Temple.  Nahorhabi got its name from “Nahor” trees, because this area once had beautiful forests of Nahor trees.

This is the first tea estate in North India to receive ISO 9002 certification for growing, processing and marketing of Orthodox and CTC tea.  The estate provides free housing, fuel and water along with subsidized foods for all its permanent workers.  Excellent educational facilities are provided for the children of the workers and there is a hospital on the grounds that provides free medical treatment for the workers and their families.  For the spiritual upliftment of its employees, a temple has been built by the company.

The Nahorhabi Estate is known as a producer of excellent teas, and this self-drinking tea has all the attributes associated with a fine Assam.

The twisted black leaves of this tea have an abundance of golden tips. This second flush tea produces a bold, full-bodied, smooth amber cup with a hint of sweetness and an oak-like finish.
