Terroir & Climate
At 128 metres above sea level, Daisajan occupies the low-lying plains typical of Assam's principal tea-growing belt. Estates at this elevation generally experience warm, humid conditions year-round, with monsoon rainfall patterns that tend to drive vigorous vegetative growth. The combination of tropical temperatures and ample moisture typically supports a long cropping season, often extending from March through November, with flush cycles governed by the onset and retreat of the monsoon.
The alluvial soils common to Assam's river valleys tend to be deep and fertile, characteristics that generally favour robust root development and high yields. The modest elevation means that diurnal temperature variation is less pronounced than in hill estates, a factor that often contributes to the full-bodied, malty profiles for which the region is known. Humidity levels during the monsoon months can be high, influencing both the pace of growth and the need for careful post-harvest handling.
Tea Produced
Daisajan produces black tea, the dominant type in Assam's commercial output. Estates in this region and at similar elevations typically yield teas with a strong, malty character, full body, and a brisk, assertive flavour profile. The low-altitude, high-warmth growing environment often results in leaves that produce a dark, coppery liquor with pronounced astringency and depth, qualities that tend to perform well in blends and as breakfast teas. While individual garden character varies, Assam blacks from the plains are generally valued for their consistency, strength, and capacity to carry milk.
