This Assam Specialty Tea Auctioned for ‘Record’ USD 1315 Per KG
Tea was first discovered by the Chinese emperor Shen Nong way back in 2732 B.C. But Assam region in India is also considered as an origin of tea based on historic evidences. Tea is native to Assam & It is a way of life in India. By the way, As The Economic Times had reported, a specialty tea from Assam‘s Dibrugarh district was on Tuesday auctioned for “Record” Rs 99,999 (USD 1315) per kg at the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC), the “highest price” ever fetched in any tea auction in the country, an official said.
The Manohari Tea Estate sold 1 kg of its ‘Manohari Gold‘ variety to Sourabh Tea Traders, Gauhati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC) Secretary Priyanuz Dutta said.
“This is the highest auction price fetched in tea selling and buying in the country so far,” Dutta said.
“We manufacture the tea based on high demand from discerning consumers and connoisseurs for this type of premium quality specialty tea,” Proprietor of Manohari Tea Estate, Rajan Lohia, said. The bright yellow liquor has a soothing after-taste, and is known for several health benefits, he added.
Manohari Gold Tea had sold for Rs 50,000 per kg at the GTAC auction in July 2019, which was the highest auction value at that time. However, the record was broken shortly when the ‘Golden Neddles Tea’, manufactured by Donyi Polo Tea Estate of Arunachal Pradesh, and ‘Golden Butterfly Tea’ of Dikon Tea Estate of Assam, sold for Rs 75,000 (USD 1004) per kg in separate auctions at the GTAC. Then again in November 2020, Manohari Gold fetched Rs 75,000 (USD 1004) to equal that record.
“Tea with Nipun” would like to take this opportunity to Congratulate Manohari Tea Estate for Their Great Achievement ! & Wish Them All The Very Best & Success !
