One of the largest tea gardens offers a tea which fascinates by its wonderful and marvelously typical first flush exterior.
Traditional Black Teas have been gathered from all corners of the globe and as a very general rule of thumb can be enjoyed with or without milk. However we recommend no milk with this blend.
The story of Darjeeling tea started some 150 years ago when Dr. Campbell (civil surgeon), as an experiment planted tea seeds in his garden at Beechwood, Darjeeling, 7000 ft above sea level. He was reasonably successful in raising the plant, so the government, in 1847, elected to put out tea nurseries in this area.
The Nagri Farm as we know of today wasn’t a tea estate in its early years of establishment. It was a dairy farm when it was established in the year 1857 by Mr. Greenhill. It was later in the year 1883 that it was fully converted into a tea estate but the ‘farm’ tag remains to this date which explains the tea estate still being called as a farm, and hence the name Nagri Farm Tea Estate. Locally, the tea estate is alternatively known as Makerjung.
Nagri Farm Tea Estate, a 130 year old, 571 hectares Darjeeling tea garden was established by Mr. Greenhill but was sold soon to Williamson Magor which renamed to Nagri Farm Tea Company Limited.
In 2001, the Tea Estate was acquired by the Chamong Group of the Lohias which manages twelve Darjeeling tea gardens, apart from Nagri Farm and their names of which are as follows:Chamong Tea Estate, Pussimbing Tea Estate,Lingia Tea Estate,Tumsong Tea Estate, Shree Dwarika Tea Estate, Soom Tea Estate, Bannockburn Tea Estate, Phoobsering Tea Estate, Tukdah Tea Estate and Ging Tea Estate.
Strength is also a matter of personal preference.
