Established in the year 1969 by the Government of Sikkim, Temi tea plants are growing along the steep slopes of the hills emerging from the Tendong Hills; ranging from 120o to 1800 m. The 177 hectare spread gardens of Temi produce the premium quality tea leafs having international demand. The way to the processing plant, enroute Tendong Hill, is marked with well-trimmed cherry blossom trees amidst the fields lush with ferns and grazing grasses. Once you reach the garden, the rewarding views of Khangchendzonga tampered in snow mesmerizes the tourists completely and leaves them in the state of awe. Temi Tea Estate is the only tea garden existing in Sikkim producing about 1 Lakh kg of tea every year, that too using the organic method as per the guidelines of the Institute of Marketecology (IMO) of Switzerland.
