Lakyrsiew Organic Hill Tea is wonderful because of the people who make it. We began planting tea in 2002 on virgin scrubland and have cultivated organically from the start. Our tea bushes include a mixture of slow-growing Darjeeling and some Chinese plants from the era of the East India Company that we discovered locally. The estate receives heavy rains during the monsoon season and also benefits from its own spring which gives clean, sweet water all year round. The mists of the lake protect the garden from drought during the dry season. Careful contour planting on Lakyrsiew’s steep slopes and our belief in organic methods of cultivation enrich the soil and create a delicate tea of magnificent quality.
