Rungagora J

Rungagora J is a tea estate located in Assam, India, at an elevation of 121 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by The Jorehaut Group Limited and produces black tea. It is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, the British supermarket chain.

Terroir & Climate

At 121 metres elevation, Rungagora J occupies the low-lying plains characteristic of much of Assam's tea belt. Estates at this altitude typically experience the warm, humid conditions and substantial monsoon rainfall for which the Brahmaputra valley is known. These climatic factors generally favour vigorous vegetative growth and year-round plucking cycles, with the most intense flush activity usually occurring during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods.

The latitude of approximately 27.5° north places the estate in a subtropical zone where day length and temperature fluctuations tend to be moderate. Assam's low-elevation gardens often benefit from deep alluvial soils, and the warm temperatures typical of the plains generally promote rapid leaf development. Such conditions are commonly associated with robust, malty tea character, though specific soil composition and microclimate will vary between individual estates.

Tea Produced

Rungagora J produces black tea. Assam estates at similar elevations typically yield a full-bodied, malty cup with brisk astringency and a dark, coppery liquor. The low-altitude plains of the region are generally known for teas that deliver strength and depth rather than the more delicate, floral notes associated with higher-elevation gardens. Such teas are often favoured for breakfast blends and for applications where body and colour are priorities.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Rungagora J is recorded as supplying Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's largest supermarket chains. This relationship suggests that the estate's output meets the volume, consistency, and traceability standards expected by major British retailers. Supply to a retailer of Morrisons' scale typically indicates participation in audited sourcing programmes and an ability to deliver black tea suitable for branded retail packs or own-label lines destined for the UK consumer market.
