Maij dihi tea Factory

Maij dihi tea Factory is a tea estate and processing facility in Moulvibazar, the heart of Bangladesh's tea-growing region in the north-eastern Sylhet Division. The estate operates at an altitude of 17 metres above sea level, placing it squarely in the low-lying plains characteristic of the Surma Valley. It is operated by Maij dihi tea Factory, and no supplying relationships with international buyers have been recorded in public trade data.

Terroir & Climate

At 17 metres elevation, Maij dihi tea Factory occupies terrain typical of the Moulvibazar plains, where Bangladesh's tea industry has historically been concentrated. Estates at this altitude generally experience a tropical monsoon climate, with high year-round temperatures, pronounced wet and dry seasons, and high ambient humidity. The low elevation typically means minimal diurnal temperature variation, and estates in this environment often contend with heavy rainfall between June and October, which can drive vigorous vegetative growth but also demands careful drainage management.

The latitude of approximately 24°N places the estate in a zone where frost is not a constraint, and the growing season tends to extend across much of the year. Soils in the Moulvibazar region are generally alluvial and acidic, conditions that can support high yields of Camellia sinensis var. assamica, the varietal most commonly cultivated in Bangladesh. The combination of warmth, moisture, and low altitude typically favours rapid leaf development, which can influence plucking frequency and the character of the manufactured tea.

Tea Produced

Maij dihi tea Factory produces black tea. Estates in the Moulvibazar plains, working at low elevations with assamica genetics, typically yield full-bodied, malty black teas with robust colour and relatively straightforward astringency. The combination of high temperatures and vigorous leaf growth at this altitude tends to produce teas with good strength and weight in the cup, characteristics often valued in blending and in domestic markets where bold, brisk liquors are preferred. Flavour profiles from this environment generally emphasise body and colour over aromatic complexity.
