Terroir & Climate
At 319 metres above sea level and positioned at approximately 26.8°N latitude, Rohini occupies terrain that places it in the lower-elevation spectrum typical of tea cultivation in the region. Estates at this altitude generally experience warmer temperatures and more rapid vegetative growth cycles than their high-altitude counterparts, conditions that tend to favour fuller-bodied leaf development and quicker flush intervals.
The climate in this part of India typically combines warm, humid conditions during the monsoon months with cooler, drier periods in winter. Such patterns often support vigorous canopy growth and can yield leaf with pronounced structure, though the specific microclimatic influences at any given site depend on slope, drainage, and local weather variation. Lower elevations of this kind generally allow for extended cropping seasons compared to gardens situated in cooler, higher zones.
Tea Produced
Rohini produces black tea. Estates at similar elevations in this region of India typically yield teas with robust body, malty or grainy base notes, and a brisk, assertive character in the cup. Lower-altitude black teas tend to offer strength and colour rather than the floral or muscatel complexity sometimes associated with higher-grown leaf, making them well-suited to blending and to markets that value consistency and full flavour.
