Borsapori Tea Estate

There are several gardens in Assam which have taken their names from the sites in their neighbourhood, where battles were fought during the time of ‘AHOM’ dynasty. Numalighur is one of them, which has definite monuments of this former civilization. Sometime during the various conflicts between the AHOM and KACHARI Kings, the KACHARIS were defeated and AHOM King took princess ‘NUMALI’, a KACHARI princess as captive. He built a ‘GHUK (FORT) and resided there with her for sometime. This King, however, abandoned princess ‘NUMALI’ and eventually returned to his own capital. Aggrieved at her desertion, the princess committed suicide by drowning herself in the adjoining marshes of BEHORA. <br><br> Records say, 12 acres of tea was planted in 1852-53, 22 acres in 1855, 34 acres in 1856 and 150 acres in 1857. The estate was purchased by Jorehaut Tea Company in 1859 for a sum of £ 18,000. <br><br> Today, it is one of the largest estates in this area. Most of the original planting done at NUMALIGHUR during the British Indian days have been replanted with scientifically developed better quality seeds as vegetatively grown clonal plants that has helped Numalighur achieve a quality of black tea which is considered one of the top quality products of the country. <br><br> <div class='rightPanel'> <h2 class='text-center'>Garden Location</h2> <p class='text-center'><img src='https://storage.googleapis.com/jorehauttea.appspot.com/Images/map2.jpg' width='599' height='444' class='alignnone size-full wp-image-211 ' /></p> <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tbody> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Nearest Town</td> <td align='left' valign='top'>Golaghat</td> <td align='right' valign='top'>38 KM</td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Distance from :</td> <td align='left' valign='top'></td> <td align='right' valign='top'></td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Airport</td> <td align='left' valign='top'>Jorhat</td> <td align='right' valign='top'>60 KM</td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Railway Station </td> <td align='left' valign='top'>Jorhat (Mariani)</td> <td align='right' valign='top'>70 KM </td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>National Highway </td> <td align='left' valign='top'>No. 39</p> <p> No. 37</td> <td align='right' valign='top'>00 KM </p> <p>0.1KM</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3><b>Place of Tourist Interest:</b></h3> <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tbody> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Kaziranga National Park (A world Heritage Site)</td> <td align='right' valign='top' width='100'>20 KM</td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>Shiv Temple at Numalighur </td> <td align='right' valign='top'>04 KM</td> </tr> <tr> <td align='left' valign='top'>The Most Technically Advanced Refinery of India-<br />(Numalighur Refinery Limited) </td> <td align='right' valign='top'>13 KM</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div>

Langharjan is located on the wide corridor between <b>Dibrugarh</b> and <b>Tinsukia</b> and both sides of this corridor lies the best tea growing areas over the ground and oil and coal deposits below. <br><br> The land on which Langharjan was placed by was discovered by <br>Mr. George Ross Grant</b>, who in 1909 was extracting timber from the forest in the neighbourhood. It was only until end of 1912 when 460 acres were planted. It was reported in 1913 that a lot of planted area was a failure and only 295 acres of planted area was of satisfactory quality. The following year a tea house was erected. In 1921, the garden came under the aegis of <b>Jorehaut Tea Company</b>. <br><br> Mr. Cyril Gore had taken charge of Langharjan from Mr.George Ross Grant as Manager in 1912 and remained in charge till his retirement in 1946. It was Mr. Gore who was responsible for making Langharjan a very fine garden and the most profitable division of <b>The Jorehaut Tea Company</b>.
