       The name 'Nagrijuli' is derived from "Narchi - Juri" which in local language means "eternal spring". Its climatic condition is favourable. Nagrijuli teas undoubtedly have the refreshing quality of everlasting spring.
     

     The mark is very popular for its consistent and bright CTC teas in the domestic prime quality market. Its Orthodox teas have a sappy bright liquor, which with its distinctive leaf style, make Nagrijuli teas unique from other teas. 

    

    Moreover, Nagrijuli has the flexibility of producing both premium quality Orthodox and CTC. Nestling in the Bhutan hills on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River, this Estate is blessed with excellent climatic conditions. The climate of Nagrijuli is typically ‘tropical monsoon rainfall’ type, with high levels of humidity and heavy rainfall. People here enjoy a moderate climate all throughout the year, with warm summers and mild winters. 


     The mountain river known as "Baranadi" originating from Bhutan flows through the garden adding to its charm. It is also known as in locally DANGOR NODI(Big River) Wildlife thrives on its verdant fringes. 


      Wild elephants and many other animals can be spotted often in and around the garden. Almost like a secondary forest,this tea gardens host a number of animals and migratory birds. Quality upgradation in the field through uprooting and replanting of high quality clones is a major project in Nagrijuli. This is a village where people are cooperative and peace loving.

               TEA   LEAVES
 The Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha has been instrumental in improving the lives of tea garden labourers.  The sacrifice, toil and hard work of these labourers gave shape to the tea industry of Assam. However, the story behind the tea cultivation, plucking and processing of tea leaves in the plantations is one of exploitation and untold hardships for the tea labourers. 

        These labourers are still living with the basic facilities provided by the tea planters or companies. Poor standard of living and lack of education and health facilities are the main problems of tea labourers.
