MAIJAN

Maijan is a tea estate situated in the Dibrugarh district of Assam, India, at an elevation of 107 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Assam Company India Limited and produces black tea. It is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, the British supermarket chain.

Terroir & Climate

At 107 metres elevation in the Upper Assam plains, Maijan occupies terrain typical of the low-lying tea belt that stretches along the Brahmaputra valley. Estates at this altitude in Dibrugarh generally experience a warm, humid subtropical climate with high rainfall concentrated in the monsoon months, conditions that tend to support vigorous vegetative growth and year-round plucking cycles. The latitude of approximately 27.5°N places the estate in a zone where daylight variation is moderate and winter dormancy is limited compared to higher-elevation or more northerly growing regions.

The alluvial soils common to the Brahmaputra floodplain typically offer good drainage and fertility, while the combination of heat and moisture tends to favour rapid leaf development. Estates in this part of Dibrugarh often produce teas with the bold, malty character for which Assam is internationally recognised, though specific leaf chemistry and processing choices vary by garden and season.

Tea Produced

Maijan produces black tea, the dominant manufactured style across Assam's low-elevation estates. Teas from the Dibrugarh plains at this altitude typically yield a robust, full-bodied cup with malty sweetness and brisk astringency, characteristics that are widely associated with the Assam CTC and orthodox black tea trade. Second-flush production in particular tends to develop the richest colour and body, though year-round manufacture is common at estates in this climatic zone. The cup profile is generally well-suited to blending for breakfast-style teas and retail own-label products.

Supply Chain & Market Position

Maijan is recorded as a supplier to Morrisons, one of the United Kingdom's largest supermarket groups. This relationship places the estate within the supply chain for branded or own-label retail tea, a segment that requires consistent volume, traceability, and competitive pricing. Supplying a major UK grocer suggests that Maijan's production meets the quality assurance and compliance standards typical of large-scale retail procurement, though the exact volumes and terms of supply are not publicly detailed.
