ABOUT THE GROWER

 

Mr. T. Bodosa was born to a family who traditionally grew fruit and vegetable, organically, in northern Assam, just a few km away from the border with Bhutan.  Since 2007, he has pioneered organic farming in the region, and is now mentor to most neighbours.  His farm is a happy place for populations of wild elephants, wild pigs, deer and peacocks.

His tea making style is also unique, favouring careful handcrafting vs. the mass produced highly homogenous tea that is most common.
