Ghillidary is a garden situated in the Shivsagar district of Assam. This area is in the Upper Assam Belt but south of Tinsukia and Dibrugarh district. The area is known to produce the finest quality of Assam teas because of its lower rainfall in the monsoon period. It has heavy clayey loam soils, which help in producing bright gutty strong teas. The Golaghat area specialised in producing good quality teas even during the rainy months where the decline in this period is far lesser than other tea growing areas. Ghillidary being a young garden contains lot of young clonal material and therfore is therefore able to produce extremely high quality “orthodox” and “CTC” teas. Ghillidary teas are also special because each clone is treated separately in the factory, depending on its quality parameter. For example a TV-1 requires a shorter fermentation time but produces extremely bright brisk and thick liquoring CTC teas whereas a Panitola P-126 clone produces tippy orthodox teas but weak CTC teas. Panitola has a special flavour which if blended well can impart a good flavour to a strong brew. Ghillidary is famous for their full, gutty, bright and pungent/brisk liquors with unusual 'creaming down' quality. The peak in quality reaches during the 'second flush'. The orthodox variety from this district has abundant bright, golden and chunky tip.
