With over 850 tea gardens in Assam producing over 15% of the total world production of tea, Assam should be on the top of the list of any tea connoisseur. Howver, good Assams are hard to find in United States because most Assam teas tend to be of CTC type and not the orthodox type preferred by the American palate. This is why when one comes across a good Assam tea, one tends to appreciate and cherish it.
Situated in the hills of Assam, Marangi tea estate is a small estate of 275 hectares, producing premium quality for a long time. Over the years, the Marangi name has become synonymous with the malty taste and golden color, with their Autumnals producing the best flavor of the year. The clonal bushes of this garden are over 50 years old, and continue to bear the best leaves of the region. Marangi Tea estate and its sister estate named Halmari Tea Estate, are owned by Amarawati Tea Company, which has fetched some of the highest prices ever in the history of tea industry.
