Mcleod Russel India Ltd, Boroi Tea Factory is a black tea estate located in Assam, India, at an elevation of 112 metres. The estate is operated by Mcleod Russel India Ltd, Boroi Tea Factory and is recorded as supplying Finlays, a major participant in the global tea trade.
Terroir & Climate
Situated at 112 metres above sea level in Assam's lowland plains, the estate occupies the warm, humid belt that typically characterises much of the Brahmaputra valley. Estates at this elevation in Assam generally experience minimal diurnal temperature variation and consistent warmth throughout the growing season, conditions that tend to promote vigorous vegetative growth and rapid flush cycles.
The combination of low elevation, high ambient humidity, and the region's substantial monsoon rainfall typically supports year-round cultivation, with estates in this zone often producing the bulk of their output during the main flush periods from spring through autumn. These conditions generally favour the development of malty, robust leaf characteristics that Assam teas are known for in international markets.
Tea Produced
The estate produces black tea. Assam estates at this elevation typically yield full-bodied, malty infusions with pronounced strength and a reddish-amber liquor. The warm, humid lowland conditions tend to encourage the development of bold, brisk character rather than the more delicate or floral notes sometimes found at higher altitudes, and the resulting teas are generally well suited to blending and to markets that favour robust breakfast-style profiles.
Supply Chain & Market Position
The estate is recorded as supplying Finlays, a significant buyer and blender with an extensive global footprint in both the retail and foodservice sectors. This supply relationship indicates that Boroi Tea Factory's output is likely destined for international blending programmes and branded tea lines, positioning the estate within the commercial bulk-supply segment of the Assam market rather than the specialty or single-estate retail channel.
