Ghoirallie

Ghoirallie is a tea estate in Assam, India, situated at approximately 93 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Apeejay Tea Ltd, one of the prominent holding companies in the Indian tea sector. Ghoirallie is known to supply Morrisons, the British supermarket chain, and produces black tea.

Terroir & Climate

At 93 metres above sea level, Ghoirallie occupies low-lying terrain characteristic of the Assam plains. Estates at this elevation in the region typically experience the warm, humid conditions and heavy monsoon rainfall for which the Brahmaputra valley is known. Such environments generally favour rapid, vigorous flush cycles and the development of robust, malty leaf character that Assam teas are recognised for in global markets.

The low altitude tends to result in warmer ambient temperatures year-round compared to high-grown estates, which can encourage faster vegetative growth and shorter intervals between plucking rounds. These climatic conditions generally support the production of full-bodied black teas with the bold, brisk profiles typically associated with Assam's lowland gardens.

Tea Produced

Ghoirallie produces black tea. Estates in this part of Assam, particularly those at lower elevations, typically yield teas with a strong, malty character, brisk astringency, and a deep copper-red liquor. Such teas are often characterised by their full body and robustness, making them well suited to breakfast blends and products where strength and colour are valued by blenders and retailers.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Ghoirallie is recorded as supplying Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's major supermarket chains. This relationship places the estate within the supply chain for own-label and mainstream retail tea products, where consistency, volume capacity, and competitive pricing are typically key commercial considerations. Supply to a large British retailer reflects Ghoirallie's integration into the conventional export channel that has long linked Assam production with the UK market.
