Sikkim tea is an aromatic, medium-leaf tea with a rounded, spicy bouquet that offers a lively and complex flavour profile. The tea's rich aroma and distinctive taste make it a favourite among tea enthusiasts seeking something unique yet refined. The name "Sikkim" originates from an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "mountainous land," a fitting description for this picturesque province. Nepalese settlers introduced this name hundreds of years ago, highlighting the region's dramatic landscapes and its long-standing history of tea cultivation.

Sikkim, located in the Eastern Himalayas below the majestic Mount Khanchendzonga, is widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful tea-growing regions. The province is known for its thunderous rivers, dense forests, and lush, verdant valleys, which provide ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality tea. It is within these breathtaking valleys that Nepalese settlers pioneered terraced farming, cutting fields into the mountainsides in a step-like fashion. These terraced landscapes not only preserve the natural beauty of the region but also enhance the quality of the tea by offering optimal growing conditions.

At the heart of Sikkim's tea production is the renowned Temi Tea Estate, which is often considered the pride of the region. Established in 1969, Temi Tea Estate produces some of the finest teas in the area. The estate’s teas are celebrated for their exceptional quality, characterised by their complex, lively flavour and aromatic bouquet.

With its unique blend of spice, aroma, and vibrant taste, Sikkim tea from the Temi Estate is a testament to the rich heritage and pristine beauty of this Himalayan region.
