Terroir & Climate
At 17 metres above sea level, M R Khan Tea Estate sits within the lowland tea‑growing zone of north‑eastern Bangladesh, where the sub‑tropical monsoon climate and proximity to the floodplains typically provide ample rainfall and warm, humid conditions year‑round. Estates at this elevation generally experience less diurnal temperature variation than their highland counterparts, and the growing cycle tends to be characterised by vigorous flush production during the warmer months.
The Moulvibazar region, positioned near the Sylhet basin, often benefits from deep alluvial soils that retain moisture well, though drainage management becomes essential during the monsoon season. The low altitude and latitude mean that dormancy periods are shorter and less pronounced than in higher or more temperate zones, allowing for an extended plucking season. These conditions tend to favour the production of full‑bodied, malty black teas with brisk character.
Tea Produced
M R Khan Tea Estate produces black tea. Estates in the Moulvibazar lowlands typically yield teas with a robust, malty profile and good colour in the cup, reflecting the vigorous growth patterns associated with the warm, humid terroir. The teas from this elevation and region generally offer a straightforward, brisk character well suited to blending and to markets that value strength and body. The specific cup profile will vary with seasonal flush and processing technique, but the combination of altitude, climate, and cultivar management at lowland Bangladesh estates often results in teas with marked astringency and a coppery infusion.
