MOHOKUTIE

Mohokutie is a black tea estate located in Assam, India, at an elevation of approximately 100 metres. The estate is operated by Assam Company India Limited and is recorded as supplying Morrisons, the British supermarket chain.

Terroir & Climate

At 100 metres above sea level, Mohokutie lies in the lowland zone of Assam's Brahmaputra valley, where the subtropical climate and river-plain soils typically favour vigorous vegetative growth. Estates at this elevation generally experience high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, with the monsoon rains from June to September driving a particularly flush growing period. The low altitude and warm conditions tend to encourage rapid leaf development, which is characteristic of many gardens in the valley floor.

The combination of warmth, moisture, and alluvial soils in this part of Assam generally supports continuous cropping across a long season, often extending from March through to November. Drainage and soil structure can vary considerably across the plains, but estates in this latitude and elevation band typically yield leaf with the bold, robust character for which Assam is known globally.

Tea Produced

Mohokutie produces black tea, the dominant category across Assam's lowland estates. Teas from gardens at this elevation in the region typically deliver the full-bodied, malty profile associated with Assam orthodox and CTC production. The warm growing conditions tend to favour teas with strong colour, brisk astringency, and the capacity to carry milk, making them well-suited to breakfast blends and retail own-label products in the UK and other Western markets.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Mohokutie is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's major supermarket chains. This relationship places the estate within the supply chain for own-label retail tea, a segment that demands consistent quality, food-safety compliance, and competitive pricing. Assam estates supplying British multiples typically contribute to blended black tea products, where their robust character and reliable yield align with the commercial requirements of high-volume retail programmes.
