In short: Nya Gogra Tea Estate is a black tea producer in No.1 Naya Ghagra, India, operated by Mcleod Russel India Ltd.
Nya Gogra Tea Estate is a black tea producer located in the No.1 Naya Ghagra region of India, at an elevation of 89 metres. The estate is operated by Mcleod Russel India Ltd., one of the country's major tea producers, and holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Terroir & Climate
At 89 metres above sea level, Nya Gogra sits in a low-elevation growing environment characteristic of the plains tea-growing regions of northeastern India. Estates at this altitude typically experience a warm, humid climate with pronounced monsoon influence, which tends to support vigorous vegetative growth and year-round production cycles. The low elevation generally results in faster leaf maturation compared to high-altitude gardens.
This latitude and elevation combination ordinarily produces teas with full body and strength rather than the delicate aromatics associated with cooler, higher-altitude estates. The growing conditions in such plains environments often favour high yields and robust leaf character, though the specific interplay of soil composition, drainage, and microclimate varies from estate to estate.
Tea Produced
As a black tea producer, Nya Gogra processes its leaf using full oxidation methods. Estates in this low-elevation region of India typically yield teas with strong, malty profiles and good body—characteristics often sought for blending in both domestic and export markets. The rapid growth cycles common at this altitude tend to produce teas valued more for strength and colour than for aromatic complexity, though processing skill can significantly influence the final cup character.
