Terroir & Climate
At 19 metres elevation, Chaklapunji Tea Factory occupies the low-lying alluvial plains of Habiganj, a region that typically experiences high rainfall, warmth and humidity throughout much of the year. Estates at this altitude in Bangladesh generally benefit from deep, fertile soils and a sub-tropical climate that tends to support vigorous flush cycles, particularly during the monsoon months. The warm, moist conditions typical of lowland tea cultivation often favour rapid leaf growth and high productivity.
Habiganj lies within one of Bangladesh's principal tea-growing districts, where the combination of latitude, low elevation and consistent rainfall tends to create an environment well suited to the cultivation of robust, full-bodied black teas. Estates in this region generally operate year-round production schedules, with peak flushes typically concentrated in the warmer, wetter months when leaf growth is most vigorous.
Tea Produced
Chaklapunji Tea Factory produces black tea. Estates in Habiganj at similar elevations typically yield teas with a bold, malty character and a full body. The warm, humid growing conditions common to lowland Bangladesh production tend to produce leaf that processes into liquors with strength and depth of colour, often with a smooth, rounded profile. Such teas generally find favour in blends and in markets where robustness and consistency are valued.
