Dalle Chilli in Vinegar, 200g

Temi was established in 1969 by the Chogyal of Sikkim, he converted 440 acres of land into a sprawling tea plantation. Ravangla was the initial choice for the plantation but it was later shifted to Temi for weather feasibility, he gave this exquisite stretch on gentle slopes on loamy soil. Just perfect to grow tea.

Today the Temi Estate brings to you a range of exclusive teas like the premier first flush, other flushes of orthodox, oolong, green and white tea. Certified as an Organic Tea Estate in 2008, it has won laurels from all around the world. The teas of Temi are known to be one of the finest teas in the world today. The distinctive landscape of Temi Tea Estate gives each cup a character that is wholly unmatched. Spread across the elevations ranging from 1400 to 2000 metres above sea level, each season at the Temi Tea Estate moulds every flush differently. From the earliest tea to now, Temi has proudly retained its legacy, character and aroma.

From the Chogyal of Sikkim it is now run by the government and doing everything possible to preserve this heritage and take it forward. The government packs it under the brand “Temi” and sells it across the state of Sikkim. We at NE Origins support the endeavour and help them find national and international market for this amazing “taste of distant saga” teas.
