SKU: M-OR07-FTGFOP1-2026
A classic Assam orthodox tea grown in the fertile Brahmaputra plains, this offering is crafted from fine-plucked leaves and carefully processed to preserve its character. The dry leaf is well-twisted with dark brown hues and occasional golden tips, releasing a rich, malty aroma with hints of cocoa and dried fruit. In the cup, it yields a bright coppery liquor with a full-bodied, rounded profile, showcasing pronounced maltiness layered with notes of caramel, toasted bread, and subtle raisin-like sweetness. A gentle astringency provides structure, leading to a long, warm finish with lingering sweet malt and a clean, brisk aftertaste.
Early-season manufacture from tender, fine-plucked leaves (two leaves and a bud), yielding a bright, brisk liquor with a light to medium body. The cup is fresh and clean, with subtle g and floral nuances, gentle sweetness, and a crisp, lively finish, distinct from the heavier maltiness of later harvests.

The dream of one pioneer and entrepreneur Mr. J.E.Todd to become a planter/owner conceptualized in the year 1856 in the form of Meleng T.E. The site of Meleng was selected amidst the world heritage site of gibbon forest on the bank of river meleng, thus, the name meleng came for the plantation.
The Estate is one of the oldest Tea Plantation of Assam with variety of clonal material and seed jat, which make it’s tea exotic / full of quality. Some of the best orthodox clones like P-126’s origin can be traced back to Meleng T.E. which can still boast of monumental plantation area of 20 Hact. which is 110 yrs old and still thriving.
