Temi Tea Garden, Sikkim's only tea estate, produces a distinctive high-altitude tea grown across terraced hillsides offering sweeping views toward Kanchenjunga on clear days. As the state's sole tea plantation, Temi holds a somewhat unique position within Sikkim's agricultural landscape, its output smaller in scale than the tea industries of neighbouring Darjeeling or Assam but valued for its specific high-altitude growing conditions.
Guided walks through the working plantation, combined with tea tasting at the estate's small processing facility, give visitors a hands-on introduction to tea cultivation, and the estate's scenic hillside setting makes it a pleasant, relaxed stop for those exploring South Sikkim's broader circuit of monasteries and viewpoints.
Established during the mid-20th century, Temi Tea Garden remains Sikkim's only tea estate, its relatively small but consistent production giving the state a modest but distinct presence within India's broader tea-growing regions.
