Guwahati: A line of 'Golden Pearl', a specialty tea from Nahorchuk bari was sold at the GTAC today at Rs 99,999 per kg. This equalizes the record price established at the city tea auction centre by another garden a few weeks ago.

The tea was purchased by local buyer Assam Tea Traders which is known for purchasing high-value specialty Assam teas. The handcrafted tea retains the delicate and floral character of select Assam clones.

Nahorchukbari factory is located at Lahowal near the Dibrugarh Airport. The factory is owned by AFT Techno Trade and was established in 2018 by three partners - Noor Alam Khan, Imran Khan, and Aslam Khan.
