Temi Tea Garden

Temi Tea Garden is a tea plantation in Sikkim that covers sloping terrain surrounded by mountains and valleys. The site includes tea fields, processing facilities, and pathways where visitors can walk through production areas and observe how leaves are harvested and processed.

The plantation was established in the late 1960s to create work opportunities for people settling in the region during that period. It has since become an established tea production site that continues to support local livelihoods.

The garden holds deep meaning for local workers and their families, as it provided livelihoods when the region needed them most. The sight of people handpicking leaves and working in the processing house tells the story of community ties to this land.

The best way to visit is by arranging transport from the nearest major town, which is several hours away. Arriving early is helpful if you want to see workers picking leaves, and clear weather makes exploring the fields and facilities easier.

During certain seasons, cherry trees bloom among the tea plants, creating an unexpected display of flowers. This brief flowering period transforms the landscape in a way that surprises many visitors who expect only green fields.
