Satgaon tea Factory

Satgaon Tea Factory is a black tea producer based in Moulvibazar, a district in the north-eastern Sylhet Division of Bangladesh. The estate operates at an altitude of just 27 metres above sea level, placing it among the lowest-elevation commercial tea operations in South Asia. It is operated under the name Satgaon Tea Factory, and no parent group or sibling estates are recorded in our directory. No public buyer relationships are currently documented.

Terroir & Climate

At 27 metres above sea level, Satgaon Tea Factory occupies a low-lying position within the Moulvibazar district, where the tea lands typically extend across alluvial plains and gentle undulations rather than the steep hillsides associated with other South Asian tea regions. Estates at this elevation in north-eastern Bangladesh generally experience a humid subtropical climate with high rainfall concentrated during the monsoon months, warm year-round temperatures, and minimal diurnal temperature variation. These conditions tend to favour rapid vegetative growth and high yields, though the lack of thermal stress can result in leaf profiles that differ from those of high-elevation estates.

The low altitude and latitude of approximately 24° north mean that dormancy periods are typically brief or absent, and plucking cycles tend to be frequent throughout much of the year. Soils in the Moulvibazar region are often deep and fertile, benefiting from centuries of alluvial deposition, though drainage management becomes a critical factor in the flat terrain. Estates in this environment generally prioritise volume and consistency, with leaf character shaped more by cultivar selection, factory technique, and plucking standard than by the marked seasonal shifts seen at higher elevations.

Tea Produced

Satgaon Tea Factory produces black tea, the dominant category across Bangladesh's commercial tea sector. Estates in the Moulvibazar plains typically yield teas with a full-bodied, malty profile and a brisk, assertive character that performs well in blends. The warm, humid growing conditions and rapid flush cycles at this elevation tend to produce leaf that is robust rather than delicate, with strength and colour often prioritised over aromatic complexity. Teas from low-elevation Sylhet estates are generally well suited to milk-based preparations and are commonly found in value and mid-market blended products in both domestic and export channels.
