Sikkim

The Land of Rich Tea Heritage

REGION OF SIKKIM

Introduction Of Sikkim

Sikkim – The Pristine Jewel of Himalayan Tea

Established in 1969 .

Perched on the emerald slopes of the Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim’s Temi Tea Estate is a sanctuary of purity - India’s only government-owned tea garden and a pioneer in organic excellence. Here, amidst prayer-flag-draped valleys and snow-glazed peaks, tea bushes thrive in unspoiled harmony with nature. Sikkim’s commitment to 100% organic farming and high-altitude terroir (4,500–6,000 ft) births teas of remarkable depth: full-bodied, bright liquors bursting with notes of wild peach, orchid, and alpine honey. A sip here is a meditation on sustainability and mountain grace.

Why Sikkim Tea Stands Apart

  • Organic Oasis: Since 2016, Sikkim has been India’s first fully organic state. No pesticides, no chemicals - just pristine soil nourished by Himalayan springs and Buddhist reverence for the earth.
  • Altitude’s Elegance: Thin air and sharp temperature swings slow leaf growth, concentrating complex flavors and aromatic oils.
  • Single-Estate Rarity: Temi Estate’s small-scale, artisanal output makes Sikkim tea a coveted treasure among connoisseurs.

A Symphony of Flavors

Sikkim’s teas mirror its untouched landscapes:

  • Black Tea: Bold and malty, with hints of stone fruit and cocoa. Try the “Golden Black” flush, a winter harvest with a caramel-like sweetness.
  • Oolong: A floral marvel—jasmine and magnolia blooms balanced by a subtle spice reminiscent of Sikkim’s famed cardamom.
  • Green Tea: Crisp and vegetal, with a clean, grassy finish that pairs perfectly with mountain air.
  • White Tea: Delicate silver needles offering honeyed whispers and a lingering, ethereal aftertaste.

Cultural Infusions

  • Monastic Brews: In Sikkimese monasteries, tea is sipped during prayer ceremonies, often blended with wild turmeric or ginger for warmth.
  • Pairing Tradition: Enjoy black tea with phagshapa (pork stew with radish) or green tea with sel roti (sweet rice rings).
  • Eco-Conscious Tours: Temi Estate offers walks through biodynamic gardens, where tea coexists with marigolds and medicinal herbs to repel pests naturally.

“Our tea is a reflection of Sikkim’s soul - untouched by greed, rich in humility. Every leaf is a prayer for the planet.”

— Tenzing Bhutia, Manager, Temi Tea Estate

DID YOU KNOW ?

Assam

Assam produces over 50% of India’s tea—enough to fill 1.5 billion cups annually! The region’s indigenous Camellia sinensis var. assamica evolved here 22,000 years ago, making it older than Darjeeling’s tea plants. Pro Tip: Brew Assam black tea at 90°C (194°F) for 4 minutes. Add a splash of milk and jaggery for a truly Assamese experience. “Our tea is like the Brahmaputra—powerful, untamed, and life-giving. One sip, and you taste the soul of Assam.” — Rupanjali Baruah, 4th-generation tea grower at Halmari Estate
LEARN ABOUT

Tamilnadu

The tea industry in Tamil Nadu traces its origins to the 19th century, during the British colonial period. The British recognized the potential of the region’s cool climate, fertile soil, and high-altitude hills, particularly the Nilgiris, for tea cultivation.The first plantations in Tamil Nadu were established in the Nilgiri Hills in the mid-1800s. The elevation (ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 meters) and consistent rainfall made the Nilgiris an ideal location. The British introduced Chinese tea plants (Camellia sinensis) and later the Assamese variety to optimize yields. Read More
