Terroir & Climate
At 19 metres above sea level, Daragaon Tea Factory occupies low-lying terrain characteristic of the Habiganj district, where the majority of Bangladesh's tea cultivation is concentrated. Estates at this latitude and elevation typically experience a humid subtropical climate with high annual rainfall, warm temperatures, and a pronounced monsoon season that generally extends from May through September. These conditions tend to support vigorous vegetative growth and high yields.
The low altitude and abundant moisture typical of this region often favour rapid leaf development and a growing cycle that can extend across much of the year, with periodic dormancy during cooler winter months. Soils in the Habiganj area are generally acidic and well-drained, characteristics that tend to suit Camellia sinensis var. assamica, the varietal commonly planted in Bangladesh's lowland tea gardens.
Tea Produced
Daragaon Tea Factory produces black tea. Estates in Habiganj at similar elevations typically yield teas with a full body, malty character, and brisk astringency, attributes often associated with lowland Assam-type manufacture. The warm, humid growing conditions common to this altitude tend to produce robust, copper-coloured liquors suited to blending and bulk trade, though cup character can vary significantly depending on plucking standards, processing technique, and seasonal factors.
