Chai lover or not, you must have definitely heard of the ever-famous Darjeeling Tea. This tea estate in India is one of the most surreal tea plantations and is quite the legacy brand. Brimming with a vintage aesthetic, a little bit of grace, and pastels of green this tea garden has quite the inviting aura. Nestled on top of a hillock overlooking the Kanchenjunga mountain range this Darjeeling tea garden was established by Scottish tea planters in the year; 1860.

Unlike most of the tea plantations in Darjeeling that were brought about by the Scottish dwellers and British planters, Temi Tea Garden in Sikkim was set up by the local government as a means of employment to the Tibetan refugees. Known particularly for producing black teas, Temi Tea Garden as a brand in itself has also started producing green and white teas, among other varieties.
