In short: Chandbagh Tea Factory is a black tea producer in Moulvibazar, Bangladesh, operating at 9 metres above sea level in the lowland plains of the country's tea-growing region.
Chandbagh Tea Factory is a tea producer located in Moulvibazar, a district in the Sylhet division of north-eastern Bangladesh. The factory operates at 9 metres above sea level, placing it among the lowland estates in a region better known for its gently rolling plains than for pronounced elevation. It is operated by Chandbagh Tea Factory, and produces black tea.
Terroir & Climate
At just 9 metres above sea level, Chandbagh Tea Factory sits in the lowland plain characteristic of much of Moulvibazar district. Estates at this altitude in Bangladesh typically experience a warm, humid subtropical climate with heavy monsoon rains from May through September. The relatively low elevation generally means warmer year-round temperatures and less diurnal variation than would be found in higher-altitude tea regions, factors which tend to support vigorous vegetative growth during the growing season.
The Sylhet region's tea-growing areas are typically influenced by both the south-west monsoon and the proximity to the Meghalaya plateau to the north, which can channel moisture and create localised rainfall patterns. Lowland estates in this latitude generally contend with high humidity and consistent warmth, conditions that tend to encourage rapid flush cycles during the peak months. Drainage and soil management are often critical at such low elevations, where waterlogging during the monsoon can affect root health and leaf quality.
Tea Produced
Chandbagh Tea Factory produces black tea. Estates in the Moulvibazar lowlands typically yield robust, full-bodied liquors with malty and sometimes earthy notes, reflecting the warm growing conditions and rapid leaf development common at lower elevations. Teas from this region often display a straightforward, brisk character well suited to blending and to markets where strength and colour are valued. The cup profile of lowland Bangladeshi blacks tends to be less nuanced than teas from higher-altitude gardens, but consistency and body are generally reliable attributes.
