In short: Khan Tea Garden is a black tea estate in Sylhet, Bangladesh, operated by Khan Tea Garden company at an elevation of 18 metres.
Khan Tea Garden is a black tea estate located in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh, operated by Khan Tea Garden company. Situated at an elevation of just 18 metres above sea level, the estate occupies low-lying terrain characteristic of much of the Sylhet valley's tea-growing landscape. No record of the estate's commercial supply relationships has been verified.
Terroir & Climate
At 18 metres above sea level, Khan Tea Garden occupies some of the lowest-altitude tea-growing land in commercial production. Estates at this elevation in Sylhet typically experience the warm, humid conditions of the valley floor, with less diurnal temperature variation than is found in higher-elevation gardens. The subtropical climate of the region generally delivers high rainfall during the monsoon months, and the low altitude tends to promote vigorous, fast-growing flush cycles.
Tea grown at such modest elevations in Bangladesh often develops in conditions of high ambient temperature and moisture, which typically favour rapid leaf expansion and robust yields. The Sylhet valley's alluvial and clay-rich soils, combined with the warm growing environment, generally produce a leaf that oxidises readily during manufacture. Estates in this elevation band often see their heaviest cropping during the summer months, when heat and rainfall are at their peak.
Tea Produced
Khan Tea Garden produces black tea. Estates at low elevation in Sylhet typically yield a full-bodied, malty cup with a straightforward, robust character. The warm growing conditions and rapid flush cycles common to valley-floor gardens tend to favour teas with strength and colour rather than the more delicate aromatics associated with high-altitude production. Black teas from this elevation band in Bangladesh are generally well-suited to blending and to markets where body and briskness are valued.
