Description
Mridul Kumar Bhattacharjee (MKB), the founder and patriarch of our business is a mechanical engineer by training. His obsession with tea can be traced back to his maternal grandfather, who at the turn of the last century, were amongst a handful of Assamese tea planters. MKB and his wife, Reeta Bhattacharjee, has started from scratch in the mid-1970s, and built what's today one of the largest tea export house in Assam.
In the late 1970s, MKB and his wife bought a piece of denuded forest land in Upper Assam, located on the banks of river Buri Dihing, and surrounded by the last remaining rainforest in the Eastern Himalayas, the Dihing Reserve (now part of Joydihing Wildlife Preserve). This region is called the Doom Doma Tea Belt, and is considered the best tea-growing region in the world.
Over the next 25 years, MKB has let his passion lead the way, and planted one of the finest tea gardens in Assam today, Satrupa Tea Estate. Satrupa is the highest yield tea garden in Assam both in terms of crop/hectare and price/kilogram. Satrupa also has one of the most modern tea factories in Assam.
