BAGHMARI

Baghmari is a tea estate in Assam, India, operated by Baghmari Tea Co. Located at approximately 78 metres above sea level in the heart of India's largest tea-producing region, the estate is recorded as supplying Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's major supermarket chains. Baghmari produces black tea, the dominant style in commercial Assam production.

Terroir & Climate

At 78 metres elevation, Baghmari occupies the low-lying plains characteristic of much of Assam's tea-growing belt. Estates at this altitude typically experience the region's subtropical monsoon climate in its fullest expression: high temperatures, heavy rainfall during the June-to-September monsoon, and high humidity levels that persist through much of the year. These conditions generally favour vigorous, fast vegetative growth and high yields of robust leaf.

The warm, humid environment at this elevation tends to produce a growing cycle with limited winter dormancy. Assam estates on the plains typically begin first flush in late March or early April, with peak production running through the monsoon months when warmth and moisture combine to drive rapid shoot proliferation. The combination of heat, ample water, and low altitude generally results in larger leaf and a bold, malty character in the processed black tea.

Tea Produced

Baghmari produces black tea, the style for which Assam is internationally recognised. Estates at this elevation in the region typically yield a full-bodied, malty cup with the brisk astringency and copper-red liquor that define commercial Assam character. Second flush teas from the plains, produced during the peak heat of late spring and early monsoon, often display the most pronounced malt and body, while earlier and later pickings tend to offer lighter, more brisk profiles. The low altitude generally favours strength and colour over the more nuanced aromatics occasionally found in higher-elevation gardens.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Baghmari is recorded as supplying Morrisons, one of the largest supermarket chains in the United Kingdom and a significant buyer of packaged tea for the retail market. This relationship places the estate within the mainstream commodity supply chain, where Assam teas are valued for their strength, consistency, and blending utility. Supermarket supply typically demands reliable volume, food-safety compliance, and competitive pricing; estates in this channel often contribute to own-label blends alongside branded products. The presence of a major UK retailer as a recorded buyer suggests Baghmari's output meets the quality and traceability standards expected in European retail procurement.
