Amgoorie Tea Estate is a black-tea garden located in Assam, India, at an elevation of 122 metres. It is operated by Goodricke Group Ltd., a long-established company with a substantial footprint in the Indian tea sector. No public buyers of Amgoorie's production have been recorded in available trade data.
Terroir & Climate
At 122 metres above sea level, Amgoorie occupies the low-lying alluvial plains characteristic of much of Assam's tea belt. Estates at this elevation in the Brahmaputra Valley typically experience a warm, humid subtropical climate with heavy monsoon rains, conditions that generally favour vigorous vegetative growth and high yields. The flat terrain and rich soils tend to support robust tea bushes capable of producing substantial flush volumes during the growing season.
Assam's low elevation and latitude mean that the growing cycle is often less sharply delineated than in higher-altitude regions; flush periods can be extended, and the leaf tends to develop with relatively high levels of astringency and body. Estates in this zone generally benefit from consistent warmth and moisture, though the intensity of the monsoon can influence both picking schedules and leaf quality.
Tea Produced
Amgoorie produces black tea. Assam teas from estates at this elevation typically yield a malty, full-bodied cup with pronounced astringency and a copper-red liquor. The warm, humid conditions of the low plains tend to favour leaf that brews strong and brisk, well suited to breakfast blends and markets that value robust character over delicate aromatics.
