It was back in 1926 that Late Jadav Prasad Chaliha, freedom-fighter and a pioneer tea-planter of Assam, undertook the daunting task of clearing a densely forested grant of land locally known as “Korangani”, due to the abundance of the “Koranga” tree and refilling the plot with tea plants. Battling the hardships of a severe environment and colonial harassments, his determination bore fruit and the young plantation began to flourish.

Between 1953 and 1970, the reins of administration of the plantations, which by then included the neighbouring Azizbagh Tea Estate, fell on the hands of his wife, late Debabala Chaliha- the first Assamese woman tea planter. Her single handed toil and devotion established Korangani Tea Estate as a producer of high quality teas at the Tea – Auction Centre at Calcutta.

Korangani Tea was introduced in packaged form in 1994 with its maiden venture at Maharashtra. In 1997, its products were launched in North-East India through its distribution unit, DKD Marketing- where it is now a market leader.

The Company exited the plantations in 2018 to concentrate of value addition and marketing.

Blending, tasting and packaging operations are carried out under the personal supervision of the management at the registered-office of the company at Guwahati, Assam.

With a garden-fresh source of teas throughout the season, all products of Korangani Tea assure the consumer of a consistently high quality around the year at market-friendly prices.
