Crafted from the distinguished P126A cultivar, this exceptional Second Flush black tea from Mangalam Tea Estate reflects the depth, refinement and characteristic richness of Assam’s peak summer harvest.
The leaves were carefully plucked on 29 and 30 June 2026 and subjected to a controlled withering period of 12 to 14 hours, achieving a moisture reduction of approximately 69–70%. A measured oxidation period of 3 hours and 30 minutes allowed the tea to develop its full-bodied character, aromatic intensity and briskness. The leaves were subsequently dried in a Quality Dryer with a throughput time of 26 minutes and meticulously graded using Ghoggi, Myddleton and Arnott sorters.
Manufactured under the expert supervision of Tea Masters F. A. Bora and P. Narain, the finished leaf is beautifully made and generously interspersed with bright golden tips. The infusion is vivid and evenly coppery, carrying the warm, mature character associated with a fine Assam Second Flush. In the cup, the liquor is bright, brisk and well structured, offering a satisfying depth, lively strength and an elegant lingering finish.
