GUWAHATI, May 27: The Guwahati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC) has recorded robust demand for high-quality teas during Auction Sale Number 22, with several tea gardens achieving impressive price realisations.
A major highlight of the auction was a premium lot from Deckiajuli Tea Estate, owned by Parry Agro Industries Ltd, which fetched Rs 800 per kilogram for BOPSM grade—the highest price ever achieved by the estate.
Situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam’s Sonitpur district, Deckiajuli Tea Estate is widely recognised for producing high-quality, robust black CTC teas, known for their rich caramel notes and bright amber liquor.
The tea was marketed by leading broker J Thomas & Co Pvt. Ltd. and purchased by Jain Tea Company.
In the 2025-26 season, tea from Hookmool Tea Estate also achieved a record price of Rs 831 per kilogram, marking the highest price for CTC tea at GTAC.
