Polymer Agro Industries Limited operates the Ootterbhag & Indanugger Tea Garden in the Moulvibazar region of Bangladesh, at an elevation of 12 metres above sea level. The estate produces black tea and maintains a workforce of 1,059 people. Moulvibazar is part of Bangladesh's principal tea-growing belt in the northeast of the country, where the majority of the nation's tea estates are concentrated.
Terroir & Climate
At 12 metres above sea level, this estate occupies lowland terrain characteristic of the Sylhet basin and the floodplains of northeastern Bangladesh. Tea cultivation at this latitude and altitude typically experiences high ambient temperatures and humidity year-round, with a pronounced monsoon season that delivers the majority of annual rainfall between May and October. Estates at such low elevations in the region often contend with heavy seasonal precipitation and the need for effective drainage across flat or gently sloping land.
The warm, humid conditions and modest altitude tend to encourage rapid vegetative growth, with flush cycles that can be frequent during the warmer months. Lowland gardens in Bangladesh generally produce leaf that is robust and full-bodied, shaped by the combination of heat, moisture, and the alluvial soils common to the region. The lack of elevation means there is little of the diurnal temperature variation that slows growth and concentrates flavour compounds in high-grown teas, so leaf character is typically shaped more by soil, cultivar selection, and processing method than by altitude-induced stress.
Tea Produced
The estate produces black tea. Lowland gardens in the Moulvibazar region typically yield teas that are full-bodied and malty, with a straightforward, robust character suited to blending and to markets where strength and colour are prized. The warm growing conditions and frequent plucking cycles common at this elevation often result in leaf that produces a brisk, copper-coloured liquor with moderate astringency. Teas from this part of Bangladesh are generally less aromatic than high-grown estates elsewhere in Asia, but tend to offer consistency and volume, qualities valued by buyers seeking dependable base teas for branded blends.
