Information:
Tarajulie
is an exceptionally picturesque estate, nestled between the
Gabharu River to the west and the Dipota River to the
east. To this day, the jungle surrounding the Estate is
as wild and untamed as it was when the first planters sat back
with a newspaper.
The
estate spreads out over approximately 699 hectares divided by
two divisions, Tara and
Julie.
The divisions get their names from two 6 hectare lakes
contained with their boundaries. Of Tarajulie’s total
land area, 503 hectares are under tea with production divided
between CTC (Cut, tear and curl) and Orthodox
teas.
So,
how's the tea? Let's say that the men who trail blazed
their way up the Brahmaputra to plant the first bushes, would
be beaming with pride at the legacy they've left behind.
Tarajulie, 2nd flush offers yellowish bright liquor with a
fabulously robust cup and deep malt character - an exceptional
tea!
Hot Brewing Method:
Bring freshly drawn cold water to just before a boil. Place 1
teaspoon of tea for each cut in the teapot. Pour your hot water
over the leaves. Let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste
(The longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add milk
and sugar to taste.
Iced tea brewing method:
Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant
pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of very hot water over to
tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Pour the tea into your
serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and garnish
and sweeten to taste if desired.
