MAJULI

Majuli is a tea estate located in Assam, India, at an elevation of 142 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Amalgamated Plantations Pvt. Ltd., a company with holdings across multiple tea-growing regions in India. Majuli produces black tea and is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, the British supermarket chain.

Terroir & Climate

At 142 metres elevation, Majuli sits within the classic low-altitude terroir of the Assam valley, where the combination of tropical warmth, high humidity, and monsoon rainfall typically creates conditions conducive to vigorous vegetative growth. Estates at this elevation in Assam generally experience year-round warmth with little temperature variation, allowing the tea bushes to flush prolifically during the growing season, which extends from spring through autumn.

The low elevation and latitude of approximately 27°N tend to favour the development of robust, full-bodied leaf with the bold character for which Assam is known. The region's alluvial soils and heavy monsoon influence generally support high-yielding bushes that produce leaf rich in polyphenols, though the precise character of any estate is shaped by factors including bush varietal, plucking standards, and processing technique.

Tea Produced

As a black tea producer in Assam's low-elevation zone, Majuli is likely to yield teas consistent with the region's hallmark profile: malty, full-bodied liquors with a pronounced astringency and strength in the cup. Estates in this part of Assam typically produce teas suitable for robust breakfast blends and for applications where body and colour are prioritised. The black teas from this elevation band generally exhibit a brisk, assertive character and are often used in both pure-origin packings and as base material for blended retail products.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Majuli's presence in the supply chain of Morrisons indicates a foothold in the UK retail sector, where provenance and traceability are increasingly important for own-label and branded tea offerings. Morrisons' sourcing from the estate suggests that Majuli meets the volume, quality, and compliance standards required by a major supermarket chain. This connection places the estate within the competitive tier of Assam producers capable of servicing large-scale retail contracts, where consistency and certification are key differentiators.

Operator

Amalgamated Plantations Pvt. Ltd. operates Majuli as part of a portfolio that includes six other estates recorded in our directory. This multi-estate structure typically allows for shared processing infrastructure, centralised quality control, and consolidated marketing to buyers. Operating companies of this scale often maintain long-standing relationships with international tea traders and retail chains, and the presence of multiple estates can provide both diversification of production and economies of scale in certification and compliance.

Certifications & Ethics

Majuli holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, an industry body that works to improve social, environmental, and economic conditions on tea estates. For buyers, this certification provides third-party assurance that the estate is committed to meeting standards on labour rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship. For workers, Ethical Tea Partnership membership signals ongoing monitoring and capacity-building in areas such as workplace safety, access to grievance mechanisms, and the responsible use of agrochemicals.
