Terroir & Climate
At 93 metres elevation in Panchagarh, this estate sits within the low-lying plains of north-west Bangladesh, where the tropical monsoon climate typically shapes a prolonged growing season. Estates at this latitude and altitude generally experience high temperatures and significant rainfall during the monsoon months, conditions that tend to encourage vigorous vegetative growth and rapid leaf turnover.
The relatively low elevation typically supports faster-growing leaf with a character that differs from the high-grown teas of neighbouring Assam or the Himalayan foothills. Estates in this region generally contend with heat and moisture levels that can influence both plucking schedules and the oxidation behaviour of leaf during manufacture, often yielding teas with robust body rather than the more delicate profiles associated with higher altitudes.
Tea Produced
As a producer of black tea, Royal Tea Factory Limited manufactures fully oxidised leaf in the style common to the region. Estates in Panchagarh at this elevation typically yield teas with strong, malty body and a brisk, straightforward cup character. The warm, humid growing conditions generally favour leaf that produces bold liquor with good colour, though the precise flavour profile will depend on plucking standards, manufacturing protocols, and seasonal variation.
