Wholesale Tea Suppliers in India
What would be the single most important thing you need to know about this tea variety? Simple - it should have been produced in Darjeeling, a small town in the state of West Bengal, India. Just like you would not dare call any random sparkling wine ‘Champagne’ unless it is indeed produced in the Champagne region of France. Because the region where the grapes are grown matters when it comes to giving a particular variety of wine its signature characteristics, and so is the case with tea.
Like many other Indian black teas, the cultivation of this tea can be traced back to the 1800s. In 1841, a man named Archibald Campbell brought seeds from the Chinese tea plant to the Darjeeling district where he served as superintendent. He sourced the seeds from tea bushes in Kathmandu, Nepal and began to experiment with growing the tea plants in Darjeeling. Within a few years, the British colonists began selling the tea on a larger scale. By 1856, the first tea garden known as Alubari was established.
