Tea being an agricultural commodity depends heavily on nature. Factors like the pattern of rainfall or the number of hours of sunlight etc., affect the tea bushes in many ways. Hence it is of great importance that these factors of nature operate in perfect harmony.

For tea bushes in Assam, every year the time between May to July, known as second flush in tea jargon, is considered as the best period, as during this time, the entire Assam belt experiences good rain showers in the nights followed by bright sunlight during the days, a type of weather which is most conducive for cultivating this crop. Hence undoubtedly, the tea produced during this period is of a much better quality as compared to that produced during the rest of the year.

At “MK”, we believe that for every kind of tea produced, there is a market. Hence we chose the best of the very best produced during this period, and reserve it for the niche but premium tea markets.

Germany and Japan are two such markets who trade heavily for Indian Tea, but only during these two to three months. These countries require golden tipped orthodox teas, which can be produced only during this period.

Keeping this requirement in mind, our estates of Gingia, Seajuli, Hattialli, Panitola and Koilamari, known for their strategic locations and appropriate weather conditions produce some of the finest golden tipped orthodox teas. In fact such is the fame of these properties, that the world renowned store of Harrods at London, markets teas produced by our estate of Hattialli under the brand name of the estate itself.

These teas are made very selectively and exquisitely for the needs of the markets which demand them, thus they are very highly priced. Golden Tipped teas produced under the banner of MK are widely sought throughout these markets, and every year private as well as public tea auctions are held for these premium teas where buyers from these countries and their agents keenly bid for them.
