BORJAN

Borjan is a black tea estate located in Assam, India, at an elevation of 103 metres. The estate is operated by Amalgamated Plantations Pvt Ltd and is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, the British supermarket chain.

Terroir & Climate

At 103 metres above sea level, Borjan occupies low-lying terrain in the Brahmaputra valley, where Assam's tea-growing belt is concentrated. Estates at this elevation typically experience the warm, humid conditions and heavy monsoon rainfall for which the region is known, factors that generally favour vigorous growth and the production of bold, malty black teas.

The combination of latitude, altitude and alluvial soils tends to support a long growing season, with multiple flush periods from spring through autumn. Such conditions generally yield leaf with the body and astringency characteristic of Assam's orthodox and CTC production, though specific outcomes depend on cultivar selection, plucking standards and factory technique.

Tea Produced

Borjan produces black tea, the dominant category across Assam's low-elevation estates. Teas from this region and altitude typically offer a robust, full-bodied cup with malty sweetness and brisk astringency, qualities that have long made Assam a staple in British breakfast blends and a favoured origin for CTC manufacture. The cup profile will vary with the season of plucking and the processing style employed at the estate.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Borjan is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, indicating participation in the UK retail supply chain. Supplying a major supermarket suggests the estate produces volume at a commercial quality threshold suitable for own-label or branded tea bag blends, a common route to market for Assam black teas. The presence of Morrisons as a known buyer points to established export relationships and compliance with the food safety and traceability standards expected by British retailers.
