Terroir & Climate
At 95 metres above sea level, Attabarrie lies in the low-elevation plains characteristic of much of Assam's tea-growing landscape. Estates at this altitude typically experience the warm, humid conditions of the Brahmaputra valley, where monsoon rains are abundant and the growing season extends across much of the year. The combination of heat, moisture, and fertile alluvial soils generally favours vigorous vegetative growth and rapid leaf production.
Such low-lying areas tend to yield teas with bold, malty profiles, though the specific character of any estate's output will also depend on cultivar selection, plucking standards, and manufacturing technique. The latitude of approximately 27°N places Attabarrie within the heart of the Assam tea belt, where day length and seasonal temperature variation typically support the production of robust, full-bodied black teas throughout the main flush periods.
Tea Produced
Attabarrie produces black tea. Estates in Assam's low-elevation zones generally yield teas known for their strength, body, and malty character, often with a brisk astringency and deep copper liquor. The style is typically suited to blending for breakfast teas and mass-market products, though quality can vary widely depending on manufacturing practices and the timing of the pluck. Second flush production from this region often displays the most pronounced maltiness and full-bodied cup character for which Assam is recognised in global markets.
