About the Dufflaghur Tea Estate

The Dufflaghur Tea Estate, established in 1917, is an iconic tea-growing estate situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River in central Assam, India. Rich in history and tradition, the estate is renowned for its exceptional production of both CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) and Orthodox tea varieties.

Spanning a vast 691.18 hectares of tea-growing land, the estate nurtures its tea bushes under optimal conditions, ensuring the production of top-quality leaves that define Assam Tea.

An integral part of the local community, the Dufflaghur Tea Estate provides livelihoods to over 2,500 men and women who work tirelessly to cultivate and harvest the finest loose tea. Once plucked, the leaves are processed at the estate’s local factory to craft premium teas, including our celebrated Assam Tea Dufflaghur BOP.

This tea estate is uniquely situated near the southern interstate boundary of Assam. Natural landmarks define its geography, such as the Rajgarh Ali or Bohain Kamal Ali Road bordering the north, and the Balijan and Singlian rivers flowing along the eastern and western boundaries respectively.

To the south, it shares its boundary with the Bormahjan Tea Estate. These features not only contribute to the estate’s distinct environmental conditions, but also its rich biodiversity.

With over a century of expertise and commitment to both quality and sustainability, the Dufflaghur Tea Estate stands as a symbol of Assam’s tea heritage, producing blends that are cherished worldwide.

How to Make Assam Dufflaghur Estate Tea BOP

Brewing the perfect cup of Dufflaghur Tea Estate’s Assam Tea is an art that emphasises both precision and patience. Follow these simple steps to enjoy a truly exceptional tea experience:

1. Measure the Tea – Use one teaspoon of Dufflaghur Assam Tea Dufflaghur BOP per cup (approximately 200 ml). Adjust the quantity based on the desired strength.
2. Boil Fresh Water – Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil, ideally reaching a temperature of around 200°F (93°C).
3. Steep the Tea – Place the measured tea leaves into a teapot or strainer. Pour the hot water over the leaves and allow them to steep for 3-5 minutes. A shorter steeping time results in a milder flavour, while a longer steeping time enhances the richness and strength.
4. Strain and Serve – After steeping, strain the tea into your favourite cup. For an additional layer of flavour, feel free to add milk, sugar, or lemon, as per your preference.
5. Savor and Enjoy – Take a moment to appreciate the bold, malty flavour and brisk character that has made Dufflaghur Tea Estate’s Assam Tea renowned globally.
