GREENWOOD

Greenwood is a tea estate situated in Assam, India, at approximately 110 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Assam Company India Limited and is recorded as a supplier to the British supermarket chain Morrisons. It produces black tea, the dominant category for the region.

Terroir & Climate

At 110 metres elevation, Greenwood occupies lowland terrain typical of Assam's valley floor, where warm, humid conditions and heavy monsoon rainfall generally support vigorous vegetative growth. Estates at this altitude in Assam tend to experience minimal diurnal temperature variation, which typically promotes rapid flush cycles and high biomass production during the growing season.

The latitude of approximately 27.5° north places the estate in a subtropical zone where the monsoon climate usually shapes a pronounced seasonal rhythm. The pre-monsoon and monsoon months often yield the bulk of annual output in this environment, while the cooler, drier winter period generally slows growth. Such conditions tend to favour the malty, full-bodied character for which Assam black teas are internationally recognised.

Tea Produced

Greenwood produces black tea, consistent with Assam's near-universal processing tradition. Teas from estates at this elevation and latitude typically exhibit the robust, malty profile that defines the Assam category—full body, brisk astringency, and a copper-red infusion. These lowland teas are generally prized for breakfast blends and single-origin offerings where strength and colour are key attributes, though cup character will vary with season, clone selection, and factory practice.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Greenwood is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's major supermarket groups. This relationship places the estate within the supply chain for mainstream retail tea, where volume, consistency, and competitive pricing are typically decisive. Morrisons' own-label tea ranges often draw on Assam origin, and Greenwood's status as a named supplier suggests it meets the quality assurance and traceability standards required by large British retailers.

Operator

The estate is operated by Assam Company India Limited, which also manages five other tea estates listed in this directory. Multi-estate operators of this scale typically centralise certain functions—procurement, compliance, marketing—while individual gardens retain their own factory and field management. The presence of a portfolio suggests operational resilience and established relationships with international buyers.
