Description:
- Puttabong tea estate, also known as Tukvar tea estate, stands as a testament to the rich history and pioneering spirit of Darjeeling tea cultivation. Established in 1852 by Dr. Campbell, a visionary British planter, it holds the distinction of being the first commercial tea plantation in the Darjeeling hills.
- Nestled in the northernmost district of the region, Puttabong shares its borders with Sikkim to the north, while the Rangeet River meanders through a portion of its lush expanse.
- At altitudes ranging from 2000 to 6500 feet, the estate benefits from the pure mountain air and unique soil composition, factors that contribute to the exceptional quality of its teas.
- Renowned for its remarkable achievements and contributions to the tea industry, Puttabong boasts several accolades.
- Notably, it was the first tea estate to fetch a world record price of Rs. 10,001 per kilogram for its Antique Tea in 1992.
- Additionally, it holds the distinction of being the first commercial garden in North East India to establish a composite plant nursery and plantation.
- With a commitment to sustainable cultivation practices and ecological preservation, Puttabong employs Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques and prioritizes biodiversity conservation.
-
These efforts, combined with meticulous care and adherence to quality standards, have earned Puttabong tea estate the esteemed ISO 9002:2008 certification for Manufacturing, Plantation, and Marketing, solidifying its reputation as a producer of the finest Darjeeling teas cherished by discerning buyers worldwide.
