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.
