Lush rolling hills, verdant green estates and delicious brews are some of the things that may come to mind when you think of the tea plantations in India, and you’d be right. India is home to some of the most picturesque tea hills in the world, which provide a natural source of both refreshment and relaxation. In 1824, the British began cultivating tea in India, hoping to compete with China’s monopoly on tea production. Now, tea is one of the most popular drinks in India, and around one million tons of the sweet beverage is produced here per year - more than half of which goes towards domestic consumption.
So if you think Brits are the only ones who love a cuppa, think again. As part of your trip, visit an estate where you can enjoy a peaceful respite and learn how these aromatic teas are cultivated and processed, before enjoying a delicious tasting. If you're looking for a place to sit back and unwind, Darjeeling is the perfect destination. The tea plantations in Darjeeling are among the most scenic, relaxing and famous tea plantations in India.
