SKU: M/1089/FTGFOP1 CLN SPL/26
A distinguished Second Flush Assam orthodox from the renowned Mangalam Tea Estate, this exceptional lot is crafted from the prized P126A cultivar and reflects meticulous manufacture at every stage.
The dry leaf is exceptionally well made, displaying an attractive bloom of dark, neatly rolled leaves generously interspersed with bright golden tips—a visual hallmark of fine-quality Assam manufacture. Careful withering over 12–14 hours, followed by measured oxidation and controlled drying, allows the characteristic depth and richness of the cultivar to develop with precision.
On infusion, the leaves open to a bright, lively coppery appearance, releasing the warm, mature aromatic character associated with a classic Assam Second Flush. The liquor is bright, brisk and full-bodied, carrying a satisfying malty depth, gentle sweetness and a clean, energetic finish. Its structure is assertive yet refined, balancing strength with clarity and leaving a pleasantly lingering impression on the palate.
Crafted under the supervision of Tea Masters F. A. Bora and P. Narain, Mangalam OR 1089 is an accomplished expression of peak-season Assam tea—rich in character, elegant in appearance and unmistakably true to its Second Flush provenance.
A premium Second Flush Assam orthodox from Mangalam, crafted from the P126A cultivar and distinguished by abundant golden tips. The cup is bright, brisk and full-bodied, offering refined malty richness, gentle sweetness and a clean, lingering finish.
