Meghalaya is what we call the "Scotland of the East. The soil, climate and rain provide a wonderful combination for beautiful tea. This tea looks beautiful with the golden buds. The chocolate colored leaves give a beautiful dark infusion. A rich, golden infusion, enough to impart a malty sweetness with a nice balance between fresh and smooth.
Meghalaya means "the abode of the clouds. Meghalaya has been in existence since 21-01-1972. In this, the Assam districts were: Khasi, Garo Hills and Jaintia Hills merged into their own province: Meghalaya (between Assam and Bangladesh)
The tea bushes are quite young (2002), production is relatively high and the taste is rich and full. Meghalaya is therefore characterized by a deep red color, full body and rich aroma. This is mainly due to the mineral-rich soil.
