INFORMATION:
Borengajuli has long been the talk of the Assam tea trade, and not just because of its picture perfect surroundings, exceptional air and stunning colonial era bungalows, although these certainly don’t hurt its reputation. Rather, Borengajuli made its name via the outstanding tea it produces, the result of a painstaking “natural cloning” process. Many years ago, plucky Estate managers began selecting the finest plants the gardens had to offer. They looked for bushes with higher yields, an abundance of “tip”, superb flavor and better resistance to drought and pests. Gradually, as more and more cuttings grew into full bushes, the estate filled with these “perfect” tea bushes. As a result, Borengajuli is one of the highest yielding estates in terms of exceptional, luxury grade teas. Evidently, so impressed were Borengajuli’s upper managers with the Estate’s flavory bright copper cup, that when the time came to experiment with new vacuum packing technology, it was naturally chosen. The technique involved vacuum sealing the leaf immediately after it came out of the sorter. The result was tea that stayed as fresh as the moment it was manufactured, indefinitely. We’re proud to offer this fabulous, deeply malted, Assam. We trust that when you open the bag you’ll find the tea extremely rich on the nose and flavorful in the cup. (It should be, it’s only been exposed to oxygen for about two hours.)
