In short: Talma Tea Industries Ltd is a black tea estate in the Rangpur region of Bangladesh, operating at 82 metres elevation.
Talma Tea Industries Ltd is a tea estate located in the Rangpur region of northern Bangladesh, at approximately 82 metres above sea level. The estate produces black tea, operating in a part of the country less internationally prominent than the hill districts of Sylhet and Chittagong but nonetheless part of Bangladesh's broader tea sector. The operator of the estate is not publicly recorded in trade directories, and no buyer relationships have been documented in available supply-chain data.
Terroir & Climate
At 82 metres elevation, Talma Tea Industries sits on the low-lying plains of northern Bangladesh, a markedly different terroir from the country's better-known high-elevation gardens. Estates at this altitude generally experience warmer year-round temperatures and a more compressed diurnal range, which tends to favour vigorous vegetative growth and high yields rather than the slower, more complex leaf development associated with cooler upland sites.
The Rangpur region, positioned near the Teesta and Brahmaputra floodplains, typically receives substantial monsoon rainfall and benefits from alluvial soils, though drainage and flood management can be significant operational considerations. The relatively flat topography and tropical climate of this latitude usually result in a growing season that extends through much of the year, with flush cycles closely tied to the monsoon pattern rather than the pronounced seasonal dormancy seen in higher-altitude or more temperate tea regions.
Tea Produced
Talma Tea Industries produces black tea, the dominant style across Bangladesh's commercial sector. Teas from low-elevation plains estates in this region typically yield a robust, full-bodied cup with straightforward malty or grainy characteristics, often suited to blending or bulk markets rather than the more nuanced, aromatic profiles associated with high-grown leaf. The warm growing conditions and rapid flush cycles common at this altitude tend to produce darker liquors and bold, assertive flavour rather than delicacy or floral complexity.
