- Nestled amidst misty landscapes and scenic pine forests, at altitudes between 760 and 1250 meters above sea level in the Ghoom district, Poobong boasts a temperate climate, where light clouds and intermittent sunshine contribute significantly to the development of its tea plants' intricate, flowery flavors.
- Certified by Rainforest Alliance and acclaimed as an 'organic tea producer' by the IMO, Poobong diligently produces premium black teas in the region.
- Only 3.5 kilometers away from the quaint town of Ghoom, Poobong is a sanctuary for Himalayan fauna, flora, and indigenous medicinal plants.
